Ogrody Królewskie na Wawelu, Renaissance garden at Wawel Castle, Kraków, Poland
The Royal Gardens feature geometrically arranged flower beds, stone paths, and ornamental plants distributed across upper and lower terraces at Wawel Castle.
Archaeological research and historical documents from the 15th and 16th centuries guided the reconstruction of these gardens, which opened to visitors in 2015.
The garden design incorporates medieval plant varieties including boxwood, catmint, lavender, and French roses, reflecting the horticultural traditions of Renaissance Poland.
Visitors can access the gardens through the main castle entrance, with guided tours available in multiple languages during regular opening hours.
The lower terrace includes three distinct sections with specific plant motifs, complemented by a bath house garden featuring herbs and flowers.
