Noble estate facilities have contributed to maintaining comfort conditions for housing and the aesthetic appeal of the environment. In order to fulfill these tasks landscape architectures have transformed natural components of the landscape in different way. The research is devoted to the problems of cultural landscape sustainability. The study has shown that in the majority of the surveyed estates natural hydrology and relief have been altered simultaneously. It is well-known fact that previously mentioned components are the most stable and define landscape pattern. We marked several groups of noble estates accommodation related to hydrological pattern of landscape: 1) on small rivers and streams, and 2) on the banks of large rivers, and 3) temporary watercourses, including ravines, and 4) at the confluence of the rivers, and 5) on the banks of lakes, 6) on the plains (hilly and undulating).
