Royal Lazienki Park

This is the estate and Royal park of the last king of Poland before Poland was partitioned among Russia, Prussia and Austria which lasted until 1918 when Poland was reestablished as a republic led by Marshal Pilsudski who lived in the Belvedere Palace shown in the 1st picture.
The 2nd picture is of the 1st building built in the park and was the king's residence while the palace was built. It became a guest house. The 3rd picture is the summer palace. The residence palace/castle was in the old town (see another post).
The 4th picture is the orangerie, about the largest I've seen.
The 5th picture is of a small amphitheater by the lake. It was designed after temples of antiquity, including damage to the old temples.
The last picture is a look at one small area of a very large park.Read more
