A cultural and historical landmark in Nowe is St. Florian’s Parish Church, with its wooden bell tower. The roughly 50-kilometre loop of the 2026 edition of the cycling tour, which passed through the town, offers another connection for visitors. The wider regional area also has architectural attractions, specifically in Krośniewice.

St. Florian’s Parish Church and Bell Tower

St. Florian’s Parish Church in Nowe was built in 1775 through a donation by Andrzej Kiciński, the Voivode of Rawa. The wooden bell tower, also built in 1775, stands beside the church. The tower has a post-frame structure, is clad in boards, and stands on a stone foundation. The church and tower thus offer a tangible way to explore the town’s architectural history, even though their architectural forms differ. The post-frame structure refers to the tower’s supporting timber framework.

Inside the church are three historic 18th-century altars, with paintings by Antoni Murzynkowski dating from 1880. The side altars feature images of St. Florian, St. Anthony, St. Roch, and St. Valentine. The dates help place the furnishings in context: the altars date from the 18th century, while 1880 is the date of the paintings. The four depictions of saints add specific motifs to this historical perspective; one is St. Roch, who also plays a role in a local church tradition.

Church Tradition and Cycling

The parish holds a feast in honour of St. Roch on 16 August; it is moved to a Sunday. This occasion adds a recurring church tradition to the architectural history. Both details are useful for planning: the connection to 16 August and the fact that the feast is moved to a Sunday.

The cycling tour along General Władysław Anders’s route offers another perspective on Nowe. The roughly 50-kilometre loop of the 2026 edition passed through the town. The loop is described as part of this edition of the cycling tour.

Architecture in the Wider Region

In the wider region around Nowe, Krośniewice is home to the Neoclassical complex of a former manor inn, which now houses the Jerzy Dunin-Borkowski Museum. The Rembieliński family’s palace and park complex is also located in Krośniewice. The palace was built around 1870; the park covers 17 hectares and is laid out in the English style. Together, these two sites in Krośniewice offer a different architectural focus from the church ensemble in Nowe: one is a former inn that now serves as a museum, while the other comprises a palace and a large park.

This keeps Nowe clearly defined as a search destination, while the sites in the wider area are presented as a separate part of your travel interests.
