This special guided walk, titled 'What did Łazienki look like before Stanisław August?', invites adults and youth (14+) to delve into the history of the Royal Łazienki Park from a different perspective.

The walk will uncover the origins of the park's name and its initial development, including the construction of the Baroque 'Łaźnia' pavilion. Attendees will learn about Marshal Lubomirski's ambitions for the estate and discover which buildings, besides the 'Łaźnia,' originated in the 17th century, long before Stanisław August's transformations. The event is led by Nikodem Węgier, an experienced educator and city guide, who will share insights into the historical landscape and its early architecture. The walk begins on the terrace of the Palace on the Isle and proceeds through the Łazienki gardens. This program is part of the events supporting the temporary exhibition 'The Art of Good Thinking. The Legacy of Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski'.
