Attractions and Places To See around Jaktorów - Top 20

Dworek and park, a nice place to rest

Actually, there are two chapels, both rebuilt. The originals were stolen, and one even burned down; their tangled history is described on a plaque nearby.

There's a large tree growing by the café behind the palace. I remember it being a rare species, and I think it's a Ginkgo biloba. Such a specimen is unique in Poland. It might be a tulip tree, though. I can't remember exactly, but I think someone might be interested in this tree, especially if they're as interested in plants and trees as she is.

An old roadside chapel with a cool history

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.

The current palace was built between the tower and the early Baroque palace (currently non-existent) and received its current form at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries after a classicist reconstruction carried out by Kazimierz Krasiński, the Crown Campiander, according to the design of Jakub Kubicki. At that time, a columned porch with a terrace in front of the main entrance was also built. The expansion of the palace complex was later continued by Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński, who created a landscape park around the palace that exists to this day and rebuilt the small castle in the neo-Gothic style, which is the remains of the former Radziejowski tower. Over the following decades, Radziejowice was visited by people of culture, including Juliusz Kossak, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Lucjan Rydel, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Józef Chełmoński, Stanisław Masłowski.

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.
