THE HERBST MANSION

One preparation day we visited the Herbst Mansion
Museum here in Lodz. It has been turned
into a museum of a home with furnishings
from the 1800's and early 1900'2.
The family who lived here had a huge
fabric manufacturing mill and was very wealthy!!

This is a large pond behind the home, The gardens used
to go to the edge of the pond but has since been fenced off
and the yards and gardens are separate.

The day we were here we saw several men fishing

and a lot of people sunbathing and relaxing in the sunny afternoon.
It is a beautiful area.

This building is near the mansion and was the
stable and coach house.
This is part of the manufacturing mill.

anothe view of the mill. I don'tknow what it is used for today.


This is the back of the mansion from the
English style gardens.
The gardens from the house and you can see
the stable house to the left.

Roses were in bloom and this was a beautiful one!!
