Raganos uosis, Protected ash tree in Plateliai Manor Park, Lithuania
Raganos uosis is a protected ash tree located in Plateliai Manor Park near the town of Plateliai in Lithuania. The tree stands out for its large size and wide-spreading crown that dominates the landscape.
The tree is estimated to be over 200 years old and received official protection status in 1960. Four decades later, it was designated as a natural monument.
Local folklore links this ash tree to stories of witches and supernatural beings said to haunt the manor park at night. These tales have shaped how people view and visit the place across generations.
The tree is located within Žemaitija National Park boundaries and is easily accessible from Plateliai town center. Accommodations and dining options are available nearby to enhance your visit.
A storm in 2008 severely damaged the main trunk, yet the tree survived and continues to shape the landscape. This resilience makes it a symbol of nature's strength.
