The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Las Popioły

The building was constructed between 1896 and 1902 according to the design by Feliks Nowicki. The designer of the steel structures was engineer Walenty Dubeltowicz (1844–1913), the first director of the horse-drawn tram company in Warsaw (in the years 1881–1883), known primarily as the most experienced builder of steel bridges in the Kingdom of Poland. Besides this investment, he also collaborated on the construction of the municipal slaughterhouse in Warsaw. Originally, the building was the headquarters of the management of the Joint-Stock Company of Municipal Slaughterhouses in Russia. After 1918, the slaughterhouse came under private management.

The park was created between 1904-1910 according to the design of Teodor Chrząński and Walerian Kornenberg, in 1910 on the initiative of the city authorities, on the grounds of former city forests, which extended much further north than the current park (they included, among others, the grounds of the current hospital, church, and film studio). It is one of the largest and most beautiful parks in Łódź. The former name was "Garden on Pańska Street". Since 1917, the park has been named after Prince Poniatowski. The area of the park has decreased over the years. First, a military hospital was built at the corner of the former Anna Street (now Mickiewicza Street) and Pańska Street (Żeromskiego Street), and in 1925, the construction of the Church of Our Lady of Victory began at the intersection of Łąkowa and Anna Streets. In the 1970s, the park was cut by a wide strip of the current Mickiewicza Avenue and currently has a shape close to a rectangle.

A small cemetery with several dozen graves of Soviet and Polish soldiers who fell, among others, on January 19, 1945, during the assault on Łódź. Between 1945 and 1992, the Monument of Gratitude to the Red Army stood next to it. During the dismantling of the monument, further remains of Soviet officers were found underneath, which were buried in the neighboring cemetery.

The oldest, large-format Łódź mural. Located at the end of the pedestrian part of Piotrkowska Street. At the time of its painting, it was the largest mural in the world. Completed in November 2001. It depicts the most characteristic elements of the city's space – Freedom Square with the monument of Tadeusz Kościuszko, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Town Hall, and a historic tram. The authors of the mural are members of the Design Futura group. The mural is located on the 600m2 northern wall of the tenement house at Piotrkowska 152.

A park with a small body of water, a bit of a break from the city.

It's always something different in a city like this.

Top spot in Łódź! The Poznański Palace is a true highlight – magnificent architecture and a significant piece of city history. The palace is especially impressive in the evening, when it's illuminated. Special tip: If you're looking for something special, stay at the PURO Łódź Hotel – directly across the street. From the room with panoramic windows, you'll have a breathtaking view of the palace. An unforgettable experience, especially at sunset!

The park is located in Łódź, in the Łódź Górna district, between Rzgowska, Paradna and Kosynierów Gdyńskich streets. The park, cut by an irregular system of paths, is unevenly wooded and has extensive lawns. Among the trees, five are particularly valuable. These are a common ash and four small-leaved lime trees aged 160–180 years. In the northern part of the park there is a historic manor house, facing south. An alley of trees leads to it from Rzgowska Street. The manor house was built in the late 18th century by Benedykt Górski. It is a small, single-storey building erected from larch logs with a log construction, plastered. It is covered with a shingled, broken, Polish roof.
