Geocache Description:


HR

Dvorac Janković je barokni dvorac u središtu Daruvara.

Dvorac je položen na padini brijega, terasasto uređenog, nekad raskošnog vrta.

Građen je od 1771. do 1777. godine za grofa Antuna Jankovića, prema projektu zasad nepoznatog arhitekta.Obitelj Janković imala je velike posjede diljem Hrvatske, a vlastelinstvo Daruvar bilo sjedište obitelji. Odmah po dovršenju dvorca 1777. Daruvar je posjetio poznati putopisac Friedrich Wilhelm von Taube koji je zapisao da je dvorac najljepši u cijeloj kraljevini te da se ne bi trebao skrivati ni u Beču.                      Dvorac je 1920. kupila općina Daruvar koja je u njemu smjestila školu.

Ispred južnog ulaza u dvorac Antuna Jankovića, nalaze se dva primjerka listopadnog drveta Ginko biloba, ženski i muški primjerak, porijeklom iz zapadne Kine. Nalaze se u dvorskom perivoju koji je nastajao usporedno s gradnjom dvorca, a završen je 1780. godine. 



To je najstarija vrsta drveća na Zemlji, koja postoji više od 200 milijuna godina. Drvo u Daruvaru je najveće i nastarije u Hrvatskoj, a drugo najstarije u Europi. Muški primjerak Ginka građani još nazivaju i Adam, a on svojom raskošnom krošnjom i opsegom debla većim od sedam metara uživa zaštitu kao hortikultuni spomenik kao pojedinačno stablo. Inače Ginko može narasti do 30 metara visine i 9 metara u širinu.
