Przeworsk lies on the Mleczka River, on the edge of the Carpathian Foothills. Its historic highlights range from the Lubomirski palace and park complex to the history of the city and region, as well as visible remains of the city fortifications. The Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre also adds its own architectural accent: it is a faithful replica of the chapel in Jerusalem. Those interested in cultural history will encounter different scales here—from the extensive complex to traces along several streets.

Palace Complex and Park

The Lubomirski palace and park complex is more than just its palace. The ancillary buildings include the orangery, the stable master’s house, the coach house, the stable and the guardhouse. There are also gates with a perimeter fence, the gardener’s house, the estate steward’s house and a cowshed. The buildings are freely distributed throughout the park. This makes it possible to experience the grounds as a group of diverse buildings: their character comes from the interplay between the residence and its many ancillary buildings, not from the palace alone.

The park, covering around 12 hectares around the palace residence, also provides a space for a walk. Its upper section is laid out in a natural style and includes a linden avenue; this area is used for walks. Alongside the buildings, the landscape is therefore also a central part of the palace and park complex. Those who want to experience both can include the complex’s architectural variety and the upper park as a place for a walk in their travel plans.

Museum and Historical Traces

Since 1975, the Lubomirski palace and park complex in Przeworsk has housed a museum with several departments. The exhibition on the history of the city and region presents the centuries-long history, traditions and material culture of Przeworsk and its surroundings. The museum’s focus thus extends beyond the palace complex to encompass the town and its environs. A department devoted to the history of firefighting is located in the former coach houses. Its location connects the museum with a specific part of the complex.

The parish church dates back to the 14th century. Remains of Przeworsk’s city fortifications can be seen on Kazimierzowska, Kilińskiego, Tkacka, Słowackiego and św. Jana streets, as well as near the parish church and the Bernardine monastery. The visible fragments are therefore spread across various parts of the townscape. Przeworsk’s Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, a faithful replica of the chapel in Jerusalem, is another noteworthy site. For those interested in cultural history, the town offers several ways to explore its past: early church history, fortifications visible in several locations and an architectural connection to Jerusalem.

A Ride on the “Pogórzanin”

The “Pogórzanin” narrow-gauge railway offers a different kind of excursion: visitors can travel from Przeworsk to Dynów. Unlike the cultural sites mentioned above, the focus here is on the journey itself, with Dynów as the destination. Before your trip, check the railway’s current operating days before including it in your plans.
