Saxon Garden, A Historical Retreat
Established as the gardens of the Saxon Palace, Saxon Garden reflects centuries of Polish history.
Founded in the late 17th century as Warsaw’s first public park in 1727, the garden was designed initially in the French style like Versailles before adopting a more natural English style. Key features include chestnut trees, allegorical Baroque statues, and a 19th-century circular Greek temple water tower overlooking an ornamental lake. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, dating back to 1925, stands as a significant war memorial.
