Warsaw University Library Garden

The upper section of the garden is divided into four distinct parts: the Golden Garden to the north, the Silver Garden to the east, the Crimson Garden to the south, and the Green Garden to the west. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of these gardens from April to October. However, during the period from November 1st to March 31st, only the Lower Garden is open for exploration.

On the facade facing Dobra Street, the building showcases large blocks of classical texts inscribed in various scripts. These texts include the Old Polish writings of Jan Kochanowski, classical Greek passages by Plato, and Hebrew script from the Book of Ezekiel.

In 2004, the Kyoei Steel company generously donated a traditional tea pavilion called Chashitsu to the Department of Japanese and Korean Studies at the Faculty of Oriental Studies within the University of Warsaw. Located on level 2 of the University Library, this pavilion, designed by Teruhito Iijima, and its surrounding area were constructed using natural materials such as wood, bamboo, paper, clay, and stone. The Chashitsu hosts a variety of events, including university classes dedicated to Japanese tea culture, presentations, and open chanoyu workshops, notably during the Japanese Days at the University of Warsaw. It is worth mentioning that the pavilion stands as the sole original example of traditional Japanese architecture in Poland.
