Kościuszki Park

In Prądnik Biały district, around the former defensive palace of Kraków’s bishop Samuel Maciejowski, a Renaissance park was established in the 16th century with four ornamental plots, avenues, and lanes of linden, hornbeam, and elm trees. After the Swedish damage to the palace and park, a classicist manor house was built in the 18th century using part of the palace walls. Between Prądnik and Młynówka, there are remains of the park known today as Kościuszko Park, which allegedly stayed here several times before marching out to Racławice. Reports from touring insurgents are said to be received under the sycamore tree, which is still growing in the park.
