Napoleon's Arch in Ślesin – a triumphal arch located in Ślesin, by the road to Sompolno. The arch was erected by the inhabitants of Ślesin in 1811 or 1812, in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. The inhabitants hoped that he would pass this way when advancing on Russia. The Emperor presumably did not see the structure.

The Archaeological Open-Air Museum in Mrówki was established on the site of a well-preserved conical hillfort from the 13th-14th centuries, locally known as the Napoleonic Mound, although its history dates back much earlier. 🛡️ History of the Hillfort - The hillfort functioned from the late 13th to the mid-14th century. - The main structure was a pentagonal defensive tower, surrounded by a palisade and a moat fed by lake water. - Excavations uncovered the remains of a forge, a cellar, as well as agricultural tools, bolt heads, crossbow parts, and glass vessels, testifying to the high status of the inhabitants. 🏗️ Reconstruction and Attractions - In 1973, the hillfort was transformed into an open-air museum according to a design by Z. Łabuda, under the supervision of archaeologists from the District Museum in Konin. - A wooden watchtower with a viewing platform, a cottage, a forge, an entrance gate, and a bridge over the moat have been reconstructed. - Two floors of the tower house an archaeological exhibition, and the top floor serves as a viewing point. 🌿 Education and Nature - The open-air museum is part of an educational trail leading through the hillfort in Świętne to the recreation center in Przyjezierze. - Archaeological festivals are held regularly here, presenting the life of the medieval community.

Beach on the beautiful Lake Wilczyńskie. The beach is sandy, so almost like a beach on the Baltic Sea (almost...). There is also a nice pier. There are holiday resorts here, so it can be very crowded: no wonder it is popular: it is beautiful here.

An extremely interesting place. This open-air museum was built on the site of a former stronghold from the 12th-14th century. It was once a knight's residence. There is a moat, palisade, watchtower, fishing hut and forge. Worth a visit! - check how much the entrance costs. https://muzeum.com.pl/skansen-archeologiczny-w-mrowkach-kolo-wilczyna/
