The best traffic-free bike rides around Żyrardów

I don't know if it's more beautiful inside or out. I've been there several times, and it always makes me stop and go inside.

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.

Mill on the Pisi River in Korytów. The history of the 3-storey mill is partly connected with Dittrich and Hielle; the then owners of the Żyrardów Plants. They decided to start their own brick production. This was connected with the dynamic development of Żyrardów and the expansion of the factory, as well as the need to provide housing for an increased number of workers and administrative and technical staff. For this purpose, they leased 20 morgas of land from the Krasińskis, where there were rich deposits of high-quality clay, and in 1870 a brickyard was built. The brick from Radziejowice, apart from its good properties, was characterized by a dark red color. It was exported to Russia. The entire Żyrardów factory was built from it, as well as many public utility buildings. Hielle and Dittrich established social relations with Count Krasiński, who willingly hosted wealthy entrepreneurs from Żyrardów. Both parties liked gambling. After winning at cards with Count Krasiński, Dittrich and Hielle became owners of the mill settlements of Koryty and Hamernia, and consequently of the mills. For the exploitation of the forest and the transport of bricks, Żyrardów entrepreneurs built a narrow-gauge railway line Żyrardów - Radziejowice.

A chapel founded in 1945. Crosses were erected to commemorate an important event or to confirm one's religious commitment. They were built in gratitude for saving a life or receiving a grace. They were also boundary markers that marked the end and beginning of a village or as road signs. Karawaks protected against epidemics. In Poland, there is also a custom of erecting crosses by the roads to commemorate tragic deaths in road accidents. Crosses are made of various materials. An example are crosses with Christ cut out of sheet metal. They were mainly created in the period from the second half of the 19th to the mid-20th century.

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.
