Jan Matejko's Park Narutowicza, Matejki St., £ód¼ The smali Matejko's Park, 2,5 ha in area, in ul. G. Narutowicza has been the only £ód¼ park of the French design. It was created as a private garden for the never realized residence of the Heiman-Jarecki family. The authors of the regular park were E. Ciszkiewicz and Z. Hellwig. The inner lawn, the shady hornbeam hedges, the sphere - and cone-cut yews are particularly appealing. In the place of the planned Beat there was a firecontrol water reservoir, then transformed into the pool surrounded with flower-beds and Virginia junipers.
The only architectural object in the park has been J. Pankowski's, the gardener's, house. The building refers to the popular 'manor-house style'. The long alleys were originally supposed to end up with the statues or sunclocks; their pedestals have been preserved until today. In the recent years the park has recovered its walk demolished after 1945. Source of information: "The city of colour"
