At Dwór Zieleniewskich in Trzebinia, cultural events and the architecture of an Old Polish manor house come together in one place. It is home to the Trzebińskie Centrum Kultury, which hosts concerts, exhibitions and meetings with interesting personalities. If a particular cultural event is to shape your trip, check the current schedule in advance, as the programme may change. For those interested in architecture, the roof and portico offer specific features that help identify the manor house style.

Manor house architecture at Dwór Zieleniewskich

The manor has typical features of an Old Polish manor house. Its broken mansard roof is also known as a Polish roof; on the courtyard side, the portico is four columns wide. The two details concern different parts of the building: the roof describes the shape of the upper part of the building, while the portico is on the courtyard side. This gives architecture enthusiasts a specific pair of features to look for, rather than relying only on a general stylistic classification.

Church and statue of Mary

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Trzebinia is known for a statue of Mary venerated as miraculous. The statue was brought from Fatima in 1962.

Park and Stations of the Cross

The park surrounding the church and monastery includes a stone grotto with a statue of Mary, as well as Stations of the Cross featuring figures by Kraków sculptor J.J. Noworol. The grotto and the Stations of the Cross highlight different forms: an image of Mary in the grotto and figures along a sequence of stations. Both an individual image and the design of the Stations of the Cross are among the details that give the park its religious character.

The International Pilgrimage Route

In Trzebinia, the International Pilgrimage Route from Częstochowa to Mariazell runs along Piłsudskiego, Kościuszki and Długa streets to the Fatima Sanctuary. From there, it continues towards Zalew Chechło.

Connecting routes by distance

The two connecting routes from Trzebinia can also be compared by length. The blue route is 11.1 kilometres long, while the black route is 3.8 kilometres long. At 3.8 rather than 11.1 kilometres, the black route is 7.3 kilometres shorter. If you are looking for the shorter of the two routes, this difference can help you decide; the blue route is the longer option. Route details may change, so it is advisable to check them before setting out. The pilgrimage route and the connecting routes can be described using different details: the streets and landmarks are given for the route, while the connecting routes are described by their lengths. This lets you distinguish, when planning, whether the named route or a comparison of the two distances is more important to you.
