January 25, 2026, Historic Building on Mostowa Street

The building was one of only two structures on Śródmiejska street to survive the near-total destruction of the area by Prussian forces in August 1914; the other survivor was the Holy Trinity Hospital.

This two-storey neo-classical bank building at ul. Śródmiejska 29 was designed by Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder and constructed in 1912 as the headquarters of Bank Handlowy Warszawski. The L-shaped structure features a distinctive rounded corner section framed by Ionic half-columns with garland-decorated capitals, crowned by a pediment containing an allegorical relief. The interior banking hall is notable for its marble checkerboard flooring, marbled pilasters with gilded capitals, elaborate stucco decorations, and a large steel-framed stained glass skylight.

Unfortunately, it's closed. Probably opened during the service, the Spis Wooden Church of St. Adalbert in Kalisz stands in the Zawodzie district, right next to the Kalisz Piast Fortress. The current church dates from 1798, as evidenced by, among other things, an inscription visible on one of the ceiling beams. The first Church of St. Adalbert was built in Zawodzie, next to an early medieval stronghold, around 1200.

August 14, 2025, Prosna River

The Prosna River, flowing through central Poland, is a picturesque 216.8-kilometer waterway and tourist route, a left tributary of the Warta River. It's particularly charming in Kalisz, where it's surrounded by parks and bridges, creating an ideal place for walks, bike rides, and kayaking. The Prosna offers calm waters, fringed by fields, meadows, and willow trees, and its banks attract nature and history lovers.

The Gothic House located on Kościelna Street in Opatówek is associated with General Józef Zajączek, the governor of the Kingdom of Poland. The house was part of the property that the general received from Napoleon Bonaparte in recognition of his military merits. Unfortunately, it is not known exactly when the building was built. It is estimated, however, that it took place at the beginning of the 19th century. In the interwar period, the building housed a kindergarten of the National Women's Organization, and the building owes its current name to a candy factory that had been operating there since the late 1930s. After the war, the building was inhabited, but in the following years it gradually fell into disrepair. Then the building was taken over by the local government, whose efforts, under the supervision of the conservator, restored the "Cukierenko" by restoring the characteristic pinnacles and large Gothic windows. The non-original annexes were demolished, and the newly added wing with Gothic windows became the seat of the Giller Brothers Communal Public Library.
