Mickiwicz park, Oliwa, Gdansk

A large park in the Oliwa section of Gdansk. The park had 2 distinct sections: one designed in the french style, the other side in the less formal English style. Between the 2 is a religious site.
The 1st picture is of the Abbot's Palace that housed the abbot of the Cistercian Monastery until the region became part of Prussia. The Cistercians were developers of the region, building mills, granaries and more. Their church, near the palace which is the cathedral dedicated to the Trinity and Holy Mary, is shown in the 2nd picture. The 3rd picture is an unusual tall, round glass building housing palm trees. The last 2 pictures are views of the park.Читать далее
