One of the oldest cemeteries in Poland, established in 1786 by Greek wine merchants of Byzantine Orthodox faith who emigrated from Macedonia and settled in Kalisz in the early 18th century. The necropolis contains graves of Russian imperial officials who served in Kalisz during the partition era, as well as the last descendants of the city's original Greek merchant families.

This two-storey neo-classical bank building at ul. Śródmiejska 29 was designed by Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder and constructed in 1912 as the headquarters of Bank Handlowy Warszawski. The L-shaped structure features a distinctive rounded corner section framed by Ionic half-columns with garland-decorated capitals, crowned by a pediment containing an allegorical relief. The interior banking hall is notable for its marble checkerboard flooring, marbled pilasters with gilded capitals, elaborate stucco decorations, and a large steel-framed stained glass skylight.

This horizontal sundial was moved to its current location in 1889 by planner Franciszek Szanior after the flood of 1881. Previously, since 1878, the sundial stood in St. Joseph's Square, and was made by Spiro (likely a stonemason and sculptor) from the Berendt factory in Warsaw.

I've been searching for information about the date of construction of this "Chinese gazebo" for a long time. But everything points to it being a modern structure. I haven't found it in any "old photos" or postcards. It's also not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. However, "oral histories" suggest it was built before the 1990s. I'll keep looking.
