Dworek and park, a nice place to rest

Beautiful and quiet place. The area has an interesting sculpture, squeezed between streams and ponds. Interesting history and two manor houses, separated by 40 years. Built by a father and son, famous doctors. I was enchanted by the silence and atmosphere of this place

The manor house was built around 1930 according to the designs of the architect Witold Pokrowski, commissioned by Dr. Mateusz Chełmoński. In the 1990s, the manor house was owned by Piotr Stefański, the grandson of the founder of the manor house. Wooden and plastered manor house, set on a rectangular plan, with a regular shape, the building set on a stone foundation, single-storey, partially basemented, with a residential attic covered with a mansard roof with slopes covered with ceramic roof tiles. On the slopes of all four elevations there are extensions. On the longitudinal elevations they are topped with triangular gables, on the side elevations they are covered with a pediment roof. The front elevation is composed of 3 wide axes, of which the middle one in the form of a four-column Tuscan portico. On the garden elevation on the axis there is a terrace and a four-column Tuscan portico supporting the balcony of the first floor. The interior layout is two-bay with a hall and a living room on the axis. The whole is composed in a manor style with clear elements of classicism.

Recreational and sports areas located in Grodzisk Mazowiecki at ul. Stawowa 10. It is assumed that they were created in the 19th century as a result of the damming of the Rokicianka River. In 2012, on the 490th anniversary of Grodzisk Mazowiecki receiving city rights, the ponds were revitalized, including a complete reconstruction of the facility, including cleaning and widening the water reservoirs, and planting plants.

Private, open gallery of Juan Soriano's sculptures arranged by Marek Keller in Owczarnia near Warsaw. In 2006 (the year of Soriana's death), Marek Keller bought the decaying "Kazimierówka" estate in the village of Owczarnia near Warsaw, which preserved: the manager's house, a barn, a cellar with a storage room on the first floor and a seven-hectare park with a pond, old trees and gushing springs. Under the supervision of a conservator, he restored the buildings and the park, created an open exhibition of Juan Soriano's sculptures and a gallery in which - in cooperation with the Mexican embassy in Poland - Mexican and Latin American artists are exhibited. The first phase of the renovation ended in 2009 with the inauguration of the gallery of Mexican contemporary art - an exhibition of Juan Soriano was made available.

This is a special place, associated with the Chełmoński family, where a historic manor house surrounded by beautiful old trees, watercourses and lush vegetation is located on a hill. The park is not only an oasis of peace for walkers and cyclists, but also a vibrant cultural center, where artistic events, workshops and family picnics are regularly held. Anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city or wishing to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of old gentry life will find the perfect place for a one-day trip in Adamowizna Park. The history of Adamowizna Park is inextricably linked to the Chełmoński family. Around 1899, Adam Chełmoński, an outstanding doctor specializing in pulmonary diseases, at the urging of his brother Józef - a famous painter - purchased an old steward's house located in Kuklówka. The building was moved and placed on brick foundations in the settlement of Młyniska na Stare, which later took the name Adamowizna - after the name of the owner. Adam Chełmoński chose an incredibly picturesque place for his residence. The manor house was situated on a hill, surrounded by the Mrowna River, which flows around the estate on almost every side, in the vicinity of a pond and forest. The Chełmoński family life took place in this charming place, and Józef Chełmoński himself was a frequent guest, who loved the surrounding landscapes and nature. The manor house even appears in his painting "Winter. Manor House at Dusk", which is currently located in the Silesian Museum in Katowice. In 2006, the Grodzisk Mazowiecki commune purchased the property from the Chełmoński family and began efforts to restore the building and the surrounding park. After years of renovation work, in November 2020, the building was officially opened to residents and tourists as a branch of the Grodzisk Mazowiecki Cultural Center.

Amazing reservoir 💪, worth a visit

The 6-hectare reservoir serves as a retention reservoir. Its main purpose is flood protection, but it is also an ideal place for residents and tourists to relax. At its shore, there is a square with a playground, picnic tables and a gazebo. Bathing is prohibited in the reservoir, but it is still a great place for a family picnic, a bike trip or a walk. In autumn and spring, the area changes into a kingdom of birds. Here you can see herons, swans and several species of ducks, including teals, mallards and pochards. It is worth taking a closer look at the latter - these seasoned divers can dive to a depth of 2.5 meters!
