Spała

Highlight • Settlement

It is true that I do not understand the phenomenon of Spała and the crowds in the summer, but for example the pizza in the Olimpijska Restaurant is delicious, it is also worth visiting Karczma Spała - delicious food.

President Ignacy Mościcki Bench

Highlight • Monument

The monument was created as part of the project to revitalize the center of Spała. A small island was created near the pond on the Gać River, accessible by a wooden bridge. A monument to President Ignacy Mościcki was placed in its center. The president sits thoughtfully, ready to hunt, accompanied by his faithful dog Lord. Tourists can sit on a tree stump next to the president.

The ceremonial unveiling of the monument, which was created thanks to the cooperation of the Inowłódz commune with the Local Tourist Organization in Spała, took place on August 16, 2020.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Spała was the favorite vacation spot of President Ignacy Mościcki, who was the president of Poland in the years 1926-1939. He spent every free moment here, and he used the place not only for relaxation, but also for establishing political relations, because he received distinguished guests here. Over the years of his rule, he contributed to the development of this small town located in the Pilicka Forest. Mościcki not only beautified Spała, but also contributed to the flourishing of social and political life in this town. He was the organizer of the Spała harvest festival, hubertus, hunting, scout jamborees, car and motorcycle rallies, and numerous sports Spartakiads.

Inowłódz Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Inowłodz was built on the initiative of King Casimir the Great. It guarded the Łęczyca Land and Lesser Poland against the Lithuanians and defended the crossing over the Pilica River. The castle is believed to have been built in the years 1356-66. It was built on an artificially raised hill surrounded by the Pilica oxbow lake and marshy meadows. Access to it was from the east from the city side. It was a typical lowland castle built on a rectangular plan with dimensions of 49 x 32 x 47 x 31 m. Local sandstone was used for construction. The original castle consisted of peripheral walls, an octagonal tower, a quadrangular tower and an L-shaped house. The whole was surrounded by a moat 20 m wide and 1.5 m deep. Thanks to a special ditch connecting it with the Pilica, it was constantly filled with water. The distance of the walls from the edge of the moat was on average 8 m. zamkiobronne.pl/zamek/inowlodz
