The open-air museum was established in 2011-2013, although the idea of its creation appeared at the end of 2009. From the very beginning, its concept was closely linked to the Tum – the pearl of the Romanesque trail project. It consists of several basic parts: architectural buildings (a residential house – the so-called clay cottage, a livestock building with a peat shed, a barn, an earth cellar, a well with a crane, a manure pit and a fence), small architectural elements (a chapel), buildings presenting rural industry and crafts (a trestle-type windmill, an oil mill, a forge) and accompanying buildings (an administrative and exhibition building, a pottery and bread oven). The Łęczycka Zagroda Chłopska open-air museum is one of the three elements of the Tum – the pearl of the Romanesque trail project. The farmstead is a clay residential house with two rooms: a kitchen and a room, and a passage hall. The threshold of a peasant's cottage transports you to the times of the Second Polish Republic, and the yard is filled with the delicate smell of linseed oil, which has just been pressed in the oil mill operating in the open-air museum, the only one in the area. Next to it, in the forge, coke glows, and the blacksmith has everything he needs to be happy. A two-hundred-year-old windmill towers over the farmstead, the construction and operating principle of which can be learned by visiting its interior. via centralluk.pl/leczycka-zagroda-chlopska-grodzisko-w-tumie

The geometric centre of Poland is a point that is the centre of mass (centroid) of a geometric figure with the shape and dimensions of the administrative borders of Poland. It corresponds to the intuitive understanding of the concept of the centre of a given area. According to sources, including the inscription on the monument commemorating it, it is located in the town of Piątek in the Łódź province.

Located on a small elevation among marshy meadows in the Bzura River valley, the hillfort in Tum is the oldest element of medieval Łęczyca. It is a remnant of an early medieval stronghold, a defensive site and a local administrative centre during the Piast dynasty. Hillforts are characteristic strongholds of the early Middle Ages, prototypes of castles, in which instead of brick or stone walls, wooden and earth fortifications were built. Special structures were used for this purpose, in the form of earth mounds on a wooden frame, the so-called gridiron, as well as boxes filled with earth. Inside there were residential and farm buildings, wells, and sometimes the square was intentionally left empty, as in the case of Tum, which also had its significance.

The Leśmierz sugar factory was one of the first in the Kingdom of Poland. Despite the changing vicissitudes of fate, it operated for 170 years. Its presence had a huge impact on Leśmierz, previously a small farm. In just a few decades, the agricultural estate was transformed into a factory estate with a typically urban character. The idea of establishing a sugar factory was probably born in Wilhelm Werner's head in the 1830s. Busy running a dyeworks in Zgierz and Ozorków, Wilhelm sent his younger brother Bogusław to France and financed his studies in the field of sugar production. Knowledge of sugar production techniques was highly valued at the time. In 1838, Bogusław came into possession of the agricultural estate of Leśmierz and in the same year, with the help of his brother and a technician brought from Aachen, Ludwik Teison, he began building a sugar factory.

The church was built in the years 1717–1721. It was founded by Jan Pokrzywnicki – a canon of Gniezno, parish priest of Kraków and Łaków. It is a wooden building with a log construction, boarded. Its body was built on a rectangular plan and consists of three naves of the same height separated by four pairs of columns. The presbytery is narrower, closed polygonally. Next to it on the eastern side there is a rectangular brick sacristy, next to the body on the southern side there is a square porch. The interior is covered with flat ceilings, the choir is supported by two columns. The doorframes have a wavy lintel cutout. The church is covered with gable, shingle roofs, above the nave there is a turret with a bell tower. The building was consecrated on November 18, 1721 by Father Sebastian Kasprowicz, canon of Łęczyca and parish priest of Piątkowo, with the consent of the Archbishop of Gniezno, Stanisław Szembek.

In 1966, activists of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society in Łęczyca asked the Institute of the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw to conduct an accurate measurement and determine the actual point. It was then determined that the center of gravity of the administrative territory of Poland is actually in the Piątek commune, but 6.3 km northwest of the center of the town (in the village of Balków, on the border with the Krzyżanów commune)[1], at coordinates 52°06′51.6″N 19°25′25.2″E. Due to corrections to the borders of coastal communes introduced in 2018, currently (August 2018) this centroid is located 20 meters further north (52°06′52.2″N 19°25′24.8″E). via Wikipedia
