Castle and Collection in Międzyrzecz

The Muzeum Ziemi Międzyrzeckiej im. Alfa Kowalskiego complex includes a castle dating from the 14th to 16th centuries. It is the only royal Piast castle in Lubusz Voivodeship, making it a special destination for travelers interested in regional history. The museum collection comprises 220 objects, including coffin portraits, inscription panels and heraldic panels. The castle’s history and collection offer different cultural focal points: alongside the historic building, portraits, writing and coats of arms are specific themes represented in the collection. If you are interested in historical portraits, inscriptions or heraldry, you can include these objects as a separate item in your travel plans.

Water and Forest in Pszczew Landscape Park

Pszczew Landscape Park extends across the municipalities of Międzyrzecz, Przytoczna, Pszczew and Trzciel. Its clean waters are suitable for recreation and water sports, and kayaking trips are organized on the Obra. Numerous cycling and hiking trails run through the forests. This offers a choice between activities on the water and exercise on forest trails. The specific location also matters when planning an outing, since the park extends across four municipalities.

Destinations in the Surrounding Area

In Pniewo, near Międzyrzecz, you’ll find the only underground route at Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony that is offered year-round. Even for a year-round attraction, it’s a good idea to check seasonal route conditions before your trip.

Near Międzyrzecz, in Rokitno, lies Kalwaria Rokitniańska. Its 32 Stations follow a 4.5-kilometer, stone-covered path between Lake Lubikowskie and Lake Rokitniańskie. The number of Stations and the stated route length provide a concrete framework for planning. Every year on the Friday before Palm Sunday, thousands of faithful gather at the first Station and walk the entire route by torchlight to the Sanctuary. In 2001, Pope John Paul II raised the church in Rokitno to the rank of a minor basilica. These nearby destinations therefore offer different points of interest: an underground route, a path of a set length and a religious event held each year.

Choose a Hotel to Suit Your Itinerary

When looking for a hotel, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. If the castle and collection are your priority, plan your itinerary around Międzyrzecz; in the park, you can choose between water sports and forest trails. If you want to include Rokitno, the Friday before Palm Sunday provides a specific date to plan around. You can then choose your accommodation based on the places you actually want to visit.
