The King Michael I Park or Herăstrău Park is considered the most spectacular and the most varied park in Bucharest. The park was built by removing the marshy area around Herăstrău Lake, and the architect who expanded this project was Nicolae Caranfil. In order to arrange the park, between 1936 and 1939, the architects Ernest Pinard, Friedrich Rebhuhn and Octav Doicescu joined. Few know that the name “Herăstrău” comes from a sawmill, a mechanical saw, which was located on the lake, near the bridge.
