Milicz offers several ways to shape your stay: architectural history in town, two cycling routes of different lengths, and a short loop around the recreational reservoir. This makes it easy to plan according to whether you mainly want to see churches and historic buildings, go cycling, or take a short walk by the water.

Architecture Spanning Several Centuries

The neoclassical Maltzan Palace was built between 1790 and 1798 to a design by Karol G. Geissler. The Church of St. Andrew Bobola was built much earlier, from 1709 to 1714. It is Baroque and is also known as the Church of Grace. Its timber frame is built using half-timbering, with brick infill: this clearly shows how the load-bearing timber frame and brick infill come together.

Another landmark is St. Anne’s Church, dating from the 19th century. Historic townhouses line the Market Square. Together, these buildings offer a tangible introduction to the town’s history: the churches and palace can be distinguished by their construction dates and architectural styles, while the townhouses give the Market Square its historic character.

Museum in a Former Factory Building

Muzeum Bombki is now housed in the buildings of the former Milicz Christmas ornament factory. The museum thus brings together a present-day museum and former factory buildings. If you plan to visit, check the current opening hours in advance.

Two Cycling Routes Through Milicz

The blue Szlak Stawów Milickich cycling route runs from Grabówka via Milicz and Grabownica to Czatkowice and is 28.7 kilometres long. An alternative route follows the trackbed of the former narrow-gauge railway: this cycling route runs from Gruszeczka via Sułów and Milicz to Grabownica and is 23 kilometres long. The blue route is 5.7 kilometres longer; the second cycling route follows the trackbed of the former narrow-gauge railway.

Historic railway rolling stock is on display at Milicz Zamek station. As conditions on cycling routes can change, it is a good idea to check the latest information before setting out.

A Loop and a Meal by the Recreational Reservoir

The “Nad milickim zalewem” path loops around the recreational reservoir for one kilometre. For planning purposes, this is a clearly specified short walking option alongside the longer cycling routes. There is also a pierogarnia by the reservoir serving pierogi from the Barycz Valley. It is best to check the current menu before visiting.

Getting Your Bearings and Practical Planning

Milicz Tourist Information is located in the “Stara Rzeźnia” building at 1 b Szewska Street, near the Market Square. It provides information about bicycle rentals and kayaking routes.
