Overview

Park Norweski is a historic municipal park located in the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój district of Jelenia Góra, characterized by its Nordic-inspired architectural motifs. The park features a prominent building modeled after traditional Norwegian stave churches, originally constructed as an exhibition pavilion for the 1900 Paris World's Fair.

The grounds are designed in the landscape park style, integrating a large pond with a footbridge and diverse botanical specimens. It functions as a recreational space connected to the larger spa park network of the region. The park underwent significant revitalization in recent years to preserve its heritage features and infrastructure. It serves as a central hub for local community events and social gatherings.
