Attractions and Places To See around Nekla - Top 20

The palace was built in the early 19th century at the request of Józef Mielżyński, according to a design by K.F. Schinkel, as a (then relatively modest) villa-palace. In the mid-19th century, it was expanded to include the wings of the southern façade, the western wing, and a tower in the Neo-Renaissance style. The reconstruction was designed by Count Seweryn Mielżyński himself. He intended to designate the eastern wing of the façade as a picture gallery. The next reconstruction took place at the end of the 19th century. It was carried out by the next owner of Miłosław, Józef Kościelski, to whom the palace owes its regular façade wings, the Grand Order portico, the balustrade-like finial, and the additional tower story, among other things. Thanks to these efforts, the palace acquired the classic appearance of a Neo-Renaissance residence. The façade, with its central projection and Grand Order portico, is particularly impressive. Four Ionic columns support the architrave, which supports the triangular pediment. The avant-corps is connected to the side wings, which protrude significantly from the facade, and feature charming galleries decorated with vases. A quadrangular tower, topped by a belvedere surrounded by a balustrade, dominates the entire structure. The garden façade is enhanced by a perpendicularly added wing. The palace stands in a beautiful landscaped park. (naprzekordniom.wordpress.com) Currently (October 2025), the building is undergoing facade renovations.

Miłosław Palace is a 19th-century Classicist residence located in the southern part of the city. Built as a Neo-Renaissance villa designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was subsequently expanded several times, including by Seweryn Mielżyński. In its heyday, it served as an "open house," hosting distinguished writers, musicians, and painters, and housed a museum housing a valuable art collection. Burnt down in 1945, it was rebuilt in the 1960s, preserving its original appearance. Today, it houses a school, and the building is surrounded by a picturesque park, worth visiting on a bicycle tour of the area.

It is a Romanesque building from the 12th century. The wall is 110 centimetres thick and is faced with granite cubes, with sandstone cubes at the corners. There are traces of sharpening and numerous cuts with a hard, sharp tool on the facing. During the restoration of the church in 1951 and in the following years, traces of a temple from pre-Romanesque times were discovered, destroyed by the Czech invasion in 1039, and a Romanesque altar mensa measuring 150x116x130 cm, built of seven layers of stone ashlars. Inside the church there is a late Gothic stoup made of sandstone in the form of a liturgical chalice and a late Gothic wooden figure of the Madonna and Child. (Wikipedia)
