A travel palace dating from 1750, an annual rose exhibition, and a large-scale baseball and softball center showcase three different sides of Kutno. Architecture, floral design and organized sport each offer a distinct focus. When planning your trip, you can consider whether you are especially interested in architectural history, roses, or baseball and softball.
Pałac Saski and Kutno’s History
Pałac Saski stands in the center of Kutno. King Augustus III had the historic post or travel palace built in 1750. Today, it is considered practically the only surviving architectural monument in Poland recognized as tangible heritage of the Polish-Saxon Union. Muzeum Pałac Saski has operated as a multi-disciplinary institution since 1981. A permanent exhibition is devoted to the history of Kutno and the Battle of the Bzura. This brings together different perspectives: the special significance of a surviving architectural monument and the city’s history and historical events as presented in the exhibition. Check the latest visitor information before your visit.
The Church and Railway Station as Historical Milestones
The Protestant church in Kutno was built of brick in 1880, replacing a wooden church built in 1831. The railway station building began operating in 1862, at the same time as the completion of the Warsaw–Bydgoszcz railway line. These details point to different developments: the church’s story involves replacing a wooden building with a brick one, while the station’s history is tied to the completion of a named railway line. Together, they offer different starting points for understanding Kutno’s architectural and transport history.
Roses as an Exhibition and a Specialty
The annual Święto Róży is an exhibition of roses and floral arrangements organized in Kutno by Kutnowski Dom Kultury. Both the flowers and their design take center stage. If you would like to include the exhibition in your travel plans, check the event dates for your stay.
You can also find the rose theme at Cukiernia Wasiakowie: rose ice cream, pralines and cookies are available there in Kutno. While Święto Róży showcases roses and floral arrangements, the bakery’s take on the theme comes in three sweet products. Check availability before your visit.
Baseball and Softball on a Grand Scale
The regional Little League training center for baseball and softball covers 18 hectares along Kościuszki Street. The baseball complex includes two floodlit stadiums, each with stands for 2,000 spectators, as well as several training fields. The European Little League Baseball Training Center includes 55 countries and is also used for recreation. For anyone interested in baseball and softball, the center offers a different subject from Kutno’s architectural history: the focus here is on a large-scale sports facility and its training activities.
