Gardens were one of the most important areas of cultural exchange between the Polish– Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire. Centuries-old political, diplomatic, and commercial contacts influenced Poles’ particular interest in the nature, art and architecture of the Orient. This phenomenon was reflected in gardens where many species of ornamental and exotic plants from that region were planted and grown. These sites also included valuable Turkish tents and decorative pavilions in the form of mosques, minarets, kiosks and baths. During the seminar presentation we will explore their most important examples to remind about the unique importance of Turkish influences for the heritage of the Polish gardens.
