Norwegian Park

Der Name von dem im 1906 gegründeten Park kommt vom reizvollen Norwegischen Pavillon (vom Jahre 1909) gebaut nach dem Vorbild von einem bekannten Restaurant in Oslo. Unter einer malerischen Weide neben einer Brücke befindet sich ein Granitstein zum Gedenken an das Treffen vom Wincenty Pol, Kornel Ujejski und Purkyni (einem tschechischen Naturwissenschaftler). Im Norwegischen Pavillon befindet sich das Naturwissenschaftliche Museum.
