Wow! One of the longest stairs in Gdansk. Please enlarge your frame and look at how far they go... (On the right side of the stairs, closer to Kartuska Street, you often come across bones during cleaning work I'll tell you why ...) Such a long staircase is quite an unusual sight in Neptune's Cove. They are 270 m long and help to overcome 36 m of elevation, which is a considerable result in our rather flat city.
I found them last weekend while walking around Siedlce near ul. Starodworska and Kartuska. Walking for them, I came to ul. Paderewski and the estate in Suchanin.
At the bottom of the stairs, looking from the top right, there is a small park, which was built in the place where victims of the plague of 1709, and then of other dead, until 1945, were buried. Today, there is a memorial plaque on the site of the cemetery. Not far from the stairs, it is worth seeing the old 18th-century manor house from the outside, which I mentioned in the post from October 2. The building itself is not particularly ornate, but it is one of the older buildings in the area that survived the war.
The stylish gazebo in the Orunski Park is sometimes used as an intimate concert venue. The park has become, apart from a space for walks and relaxation in the adjacent playground, also a cultural zone. Outdoor events in period costumes, festivities, concerts and performances are organized here. A stage with the audience was also created here. I even had the pleasure to perform on stage with a vocal group in which I sing during a concert of Mrs. Kasia Rogalska on patriotic topics. We made it, nobody got a tomato from the audience, and there was even applause The park has been incredibly revived in recent years, I think that Mrs. Hoene, the last owner, would be delighted with the current development of the space and the popularity of its patrimony.
