A clear starting point for exploring Tulce’s history is the church of Kościół pw. Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny, one of the oldest brick churches in Greater Poland. Nearby are a wooden bell tower and a historic wayside shrine; two cycling routes also pass through the town. These themes offer an initial guide when looking for a holiday apartment in Tulce: church art, architectural history and cycling each offer a different focus. The details below will help you distinguish between these highlights.

Church and historic works of art

The church is accessible to visitors both outside and inside. Check the parish’s visiting arrangements before your trip. Inside the church is a late-medieval Madonna and Child, made around 1500. Thus, alongside the architecture, a specific work of art is part of the church visit. If you would like to explore sacred art and architectural history together, you can take in both the brick church as a whole and the late-medieval work inside.

Beside it stands a two-storey wooden bell tower dating from 1860. The contrast in materials between the church and the tower draws attention to two different forms of architecture.

Another distinctive feature is the 16th-century wayside shrine: a column topped by a four-sided chapel. The chapel depicts scenes from the Passion and the donor couple, Jan and Elżbieta Winkler. The chapel once served as a boundary marker between the former voivodeships of Poznań and Kalisz. Religious depictions and its former role as a boundary marker shed light on different aspects of this historic place.

Castle history in the landscape park

The castle in Tulce lies amid an extensive landscape park. Its construction was initiated in the 1920s by the German Sarrazin family, whose members once lived there. Today, the castle houses an institutional office, so public access to the interior should not be assumed. If you plan to visit, check in advance whether access is possible.

Cycling routes and transfers

There are two different route connections to consider when planning your stages: the southern section of the Transwielkopolska Cycling Route passes through Tulce and continues towards Środa Wlkp.; the cycling loop around Poznań also passes through the town. The first route is specified as continuing towards Środa Wlkp., while Tulce is also on the route of the cycling loop. Check the current route signs before setting off.

Transfers in the town are also relevant when planning your trip. The municipal infrastructure report published in 2023 describes the Szkoła Tulce interchange as a place where passengers can leave their bicycles and transfer to buses on routes 431, 432 and 435. If you would like to combine cycling and bus travel, check the current timetable before your journey.
