Lazienki Krolewskie w Warszawie in Warsaw, Poland
Łazienki Park is the largest park in Warsaw, Poland, occupying 76 hectares of the city center.
The park-and-palace complex lies in Warsaw's central district on Ujazdów Avenue, which is part of the Royal Route linking the Royal Castle with Wilanów Palace to the south.
North of Łazienki Park, on the other side of Agrykola Street, stands Ujazdów Castle.
Originally designed in the 17th century as a baths park for nobleman Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, in the 18th century Łazienki was transformed by Poland's King Stanisław August into a setting for palaces, villas, classicist follies, and monuments.
In 1918 it was officially designated a public park. Łazienki is visited by tourists from all over Poland and the world, and serves as a venue for music, the arts, and culture. The park is also home to peacocks and a large number of squirrels.
Łazienki Park was designed in the 17th century by Tylman van Gameren, in the baroque style, for military commander Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski. It took the name Łazienki (Baths) from a bathing pavilion that was located nearby.
The picturesque and charming garden scheme owes its emergence as its present shape and appearance mainly to the last ruler of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, King Stanisław August Poniatowski. In the mid-16th century, it became part of the estates of Poland's Italian-born Queen Bona Sforza, who built a wooden manor house with an Italian garden on this site. Later, the wooden manor house of Queen Anna Jagiellon stood on this spot, immortalized in 1578 by the performance of the first Polish play, “Dismissal of the Greek Envoys” by Jan Kochanowski. To the south, King Sigismund III Vasa had a four-sided stone castle with corner towers erected in 1624.
Structures in the Park
Palace on the Isle
The principal edifice of Łazienki is the Palace on the Isle. It was originally a baroque Bath-House erected in about 1680 by Lubomirski according to the design of Tylman van Gameren, the most outstanding architect in Poland at that time. The square-shaped structure had a three-side protrusion on its northern elevation. Inside was a round hall with a fountain and the hall was topped by a cupola illuminated from above by a lanterns. The walls were studded with pebbles, seashells and imitated grotto. Adjoining it was a bath chamber with walls adorned by bas-reliefs. Both the building's interior as well as its exterior elevation were richly decorated with stucco, sculptures and murals. A portion of the original decorations survived on the entrance wall of the columned portico. Also original is the Latin inscription to be read as a rebus. In translation it states: “This house hates sorrow, loves peace, offers a bath, recommends an idyllic life and wishes to play host to honest men.”
Classical amphitheater, and stage on the isle
The classical amphitheater, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, was built on the bank of the Łazienki lake, separated by a narrow strait from its stage on a small isle. The amphitheater was built in 1790–93 by Jan Chrystian Kamsetzer. Its attic was embellished with 16 statues representing famous poets, playwrights, and thinkers of antiquity and of the 16th-17th centuries. In 1922 the 16 statues were replaced by 8 statues.
White House
The Little White House is a garden villa built in 1774-76 by Domenico Merlini. It housed King Stanisław August Poniatowski's mistress and, for a time, Louis XVIII, who lived here in 1801-05 during his exile from France. Built in the form of a square, it has identical facades, adorned with rustication, an attic and a small pavilion at the top. The interiors were decorated by the prominent Polish painters Jan Ścisło and Jan Bogumił Plersch.
Myślewicki Palace
The palace, which was named after the now nonextant village of Myślewice, stood at the end of a road leading into town. Initially it was conceived as a one-storey villa set on a square. Flanking the building's main entrance, set off by lanterns held up by sculpted children, Monaldi's statues of Zephyr and Flora were enshrined within two smaller niches in 1777.
The Old Orangery
The Old Orangery was erected in 1786–88 in a rectangular horseshoe shape, with the southern façade of the core structure broken up by pilasters and arcaded great windows. The adjoining wings to the west were quarters for gardeners and staff. In the considerably larger wing to the east, a theatre was set up with an entrance in the two-tiered elevation. Due to its richly decorated interior which has luckily survived to modern times, it is one of the world's few extant examples of an authentic 18th-century court theatre.
New Orangery
The building was built by Adam Adolf Loewe and Józef Orłowski in 1860. Neo-classicist with eclectic elements, it was designed to shelter the collection of orange trees.

10 Top Tourist Attractions in Warsaw
Over the centuries, Warsaw has been plundered and invaded many times by forces from Sweden and France to Russia. It suffered heavy damage from German bombs in World War II. Yet, Warsaw today is a new, vibrant city that has been largely restored to its pre-World War II. Among the tourist attractions in Warsaw, Old Town, with its palace, churches and castles, is not to be missed. Visitors also will want to take advantage of the city’s impressive cultural activities. Here’s a look at the top tourist attractions in Warsaw:
Let me show you… Warsaw! Łazienki Park, National Stadium, apartment tour and yummy vegan food!
Hey, guys!
I want to show you my favorite Polish city-Warsaw!
Let's start with an apartment tour. It was a nice studio flat located in the heart of the city, I was really satisfied with it!
If you want to check it our, here is the link:
I also need to show you some souvenirs I bought, including: cool designed postcards, socks with Pałac Kultury (!!!) and a canvas bag with a slogan,
First place we visited was the National Stadium in Warsaw (PGE Narodowy), which was opened in 2012 and can fit more than 56 000 people! That’s crazy! It’s used mostly for football matches, but it’s as well a great place for concerts,
From there I took a bus and I went to my favorite place in Warsaw: Łazienki Królewskie, or Baths Park or Royal Baths in English. I started with Palace on the Isle, then had a long, long walk in the park which led me to the Old Orangery and finally to a lovely cafe. I finished my trip in the park next to the Chopin monument,
On the way to the city center I popped in a nice, cozy, vegan restaurant called Wegeguru. I ordered a bowl of the day and a cup of matcha. It was yummy! All the vegan foodies in Warsaw-you must go there!
If you wanna check this place out, here you have the link:
That was my last stop in here, after that I had to take the train back home. But hey, don’t worry, next vlog will also be from Warsaw, so please-visit me again! :)

Christianity Center John Paul II Square & TRIUMPHAL ARCH and many nice functions in WARSAW
BUILDING PLAN OF THE WARSAW CITY CORE CENTER (vision developed working)
-----------
In the very center of Warsaw, the most important and the tallest building in Europe can be built, measuring over 400 m in height. This Tower of Europe is Christianity! Why is this the most important skyscraper? It would be a SYMBOL- object defining the CENTER OF CHRISTIANITY IN EUROPE !!! Through the architecture of such an object, we emphasize what the NEW EUROPE is based on. That would be a factor strengthening the EUROPEAN CULTURE in the world.
The tradition of Christianity is the basis for building a NEW Europe. The legacy of Christianity of the two great Western and Eastern traditions meets here on our earth and it was Pope John Paul II who sought to make Poland a SOUL OF NATIONS. With this great awakening. At the foot of this TOWER OF CHRISTIANITY, John Paul II Square in Warsaw would spread out.
Warsaw deserves such a conglomerate of outstanding investments for POLAND. Everything in one place on the old Defilad square, which today threatens with its emptiness and neglect in front of the COMMUNISM tower - the Palace of Culture and Science.

Poland , Warsaw - The Royal Łazienki Muzeum - 2019. in (4K)
These exceptionally beautiful and magical gardens are really worth visiting.
The Royal Łazienki are a harmonious synthesis of eighteenth-century architecture and historic gardens, which provide a rich and diverse natural setting. This place is inextricably linked with Stanisław August Poniatowski—a politician, reformer, philosopher-king, as well as renowned patron and art collector—and it contains some of Europe’s architectural gems, such as the Palace on the Isle and the Old Orangery. Moreover, the Royal Łazienki will always symbolize Stanisław August’s courageous attempts to transform the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth into a modern state.
Today the Royal Łazienki are considered “the most convivial place in Warsaw”. Here visitors are able to not only relax and observe the wildlife and plants, but also broaden their knowledge of the Enlightenment, thanks to meetings organized with eminent philosophers and art historians. Because of the Museum’s contacts with European high culture, visitors are given the opportunity to participate in numerous cultural and educational events. The most famous of these events are undoubtedly the traditional piano recitals which take place each year from May to the end of September in front of the Fryderyk Chopin Monument.
The Royal Łazienki are open daily to visitors from all over the world, who can admire the unique collection of paintings and sculptures amassed by the last Polish king, both in the palace interiors and in the gardens. This former royal residence is also one of the most elegant and prestigious venues in Warsaw frequented by prominent politicians, scholars, representatives of the arts, as well as royal couples and crowned heads.
