Attractions and Places To See around Kwilcz - Top 20

Not much to see on the outside, there is some information outside the castle and also near the rest area across the road.

The Łężeczki viewpoint is a great place to stop during a bike ride through Sierakowski Landscape Park. From the hilltop, you can admire a sweeping panorama of the surrounding area, including Lake Chrzypskie and picturesque hills. The viewpoint features a shelter with benches and an obelisk known as the "21st Century Mushroom," unveiled at the beginning of 2001 as a symbol of the new millennium. It's a good stop for both a rest and a photo op against the beautiful backdrop of the lake and forest landscape.

Międzychód Municipal Lake is a popular reservoir with a maximum depth of 6.4 meters, located almost in the city center. A promenade runs around the reservoir, and Oskar Tietz Park stretches along the western shore. The eastern shore is a recreational area with a swimming area and a holiday center, ideal for summer breaks. Cyclists can easily combine a visit to the lake with a tour of the nearby Natura 2000 and Noteć Forest areas.

The Opaliński Castle Museum in Sieraków is housed in the rebuilt southern wing of a former fortress from the late 14th century, once owned by the Nałęcz family, and later the Opaliński family. The current building was rebuilt in the 1990s to house, among other things, the Opaliński family sarcophagi discovered in 1991. Exhibitions present the history of the Sieraków region – from archaeological finds to the present day. The building is located in the city center, near the Warta River, making it a good stopover on a cycling route. It's worth visiting the interior to see the historic coffins and learn about the region's history.

The "Heroic Sons of the Sierakowska Land" monument was unveiled on May 1, 1967. It has the form of a soaring obelisk made of stone blocks with a metal shield with an eagle at the top.

A large, green square in the very center of the city. In the streets adjacent to the market square there are historic ridge houses, and in the middle of it there is the Monument to the Sons of the Sieraków Land.

Post-Bernardine Church by N.M.P. The Immaculate Conception in Sieraków is the city's most famous and valuable monument. At the same time, it is the only building erected by the Opalińscy family that has survived numerous fires and disasters that have ravaged the city. The current post-Bernardine church is a late Renaissance building on a cruciform plan with a dome at the crossing of the naves and was built between 1619 and 1639. The early Baroque main altar dates from 1642. Its most valuable element is the painting "The Deposition" by the Flemish painter Artus Wolffort from the years 1629 or 1639. In the presbytery there are richly decorated pews from 1641. They belong to the most interesting monuments of this type in Poland. During subsequent restoration work in 1983, five sarcophagi belonging to the Opaliński family were found in the basement of the church. In 1995, after their conservation, the sarcophagi were transferred to the new

The initiator of this monument's erection was the Academic Senior Club in Poznań. The club was founded in 1963 by the Polish Students' Association and the Poznań Intercollegiate Branch of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (PTTK). Besides charitable activities and beneficial initiatives for seniors, healthcare, culture, and ecology, the Academic Senior Club also engages in tourism and local history. Members of the Club, wishing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Sieraków Landscape Park, decided to erect a befitting monument within the park. The monument was designed by Jerzy Stasiewski and executed by Zbigniew Wawrzyniak, and members of the Academic Senior Club made it unique. This added value was the moment of its unveiling. It happened on January 1, 2001, within one minute of midnight. The time of the monument's unveiling was calculated by a clock monitored by the Astrogeodynamic Observatory in Borówiec near Kórnik, part of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It thus became the first monument on Earth to be unveiled in the third millennium.
