The local community has embraced the End of the World idea, creating such a beautifully designed spot near the forest. It's closed and unattended, but you can still take shelter under the shelter in case of a bad weather, for example.

The Church of the Holy Apostles Philip and James in Bukownica is a Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the parish of the same name. It is a single-nave brick structure, built around 1721 in the Baroque style, during the tenure of parish priest Wojciech Bączyński. Most of the church's furnishings are Baroque and late Baroque works from the 18th century; only some of the polychrome paintings were created in the 19th century and are characterized by eclectic elements, as are the paintings in the right side altar (from the late 19th century). They depict Jesus crucified with Mary and John standing beneath the cross (next to them is a figure of St. Veronica with a veil and an unknown woman), above them a scene of Jesus standing before Pilate (the so-called Ecce Homo), and at the very top a scene of Jesus being mocked by passersby. The left side altar features a painting of a sleeping Jacob, who sees a ladder with angels ascending it, and at its top is God the Father (hiding beneath him an image of the Archangel Raphael leading the infant Tobias). This painting is surrounded by statues of St. Nicholas and a hermit. Above them is the Virgin Mary crushing the head of the serpent, surrounded by angels. The smallest painting at the very top depicts St. Anthony receiving Holy Communion. The painting of the Virgin Mary, based on the icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa, located in the main altar is venerated in the parish as Our Lady of the Scapular, and like most of the furnishings, dates from the second half of the 18th century. It was painted in the Byzantine style, and the figures are covered in a silver robe, gilded in places. This painting obscures a very unusual painting of the Holy Family. In the Baroque style, it depicts St. Anthony. Joseph with the infant Child standing on a stool (Joseph kisses Jesus' hand), while the Mother of God watches from the background, one hand on her heart and the other slightly raised. In the lower right corner of the painting, with her back to us, sits an angel with a bouquet of roses in his hand. Numerous angelic heads and one full figure of a cherub also hover above the entire scene. Statues of bishops – St. Adalbert and St. Stanislaus – are situated at the pillars of the main altar.

The Monastery Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, along with its monastery buildings. The former Franciscan monastery complex dates back to the 17th century. Construction was carried out between 1642 and 1658. It was built of brick and rebuilt after a fire between 1733 and 1741 in a late Baroque style. The façade was restored between 1998 and 2000. The Franciscan Monastery Church – as it once was, remains the most impressive building in Grabów. The monastery church is an early Baroque church, although the church's façade and interior furnishings were modified in the late Baroque period. Its basic structure is traditional, a single-tower structure with a west-facing chancel and a tower in the eastern façade. It is a single-nave structure with a slightly narrower and lower chancel enclosed by a semicircular arch. The front of the church, wider than the nave, is enclosed by a single-towered, screen-like, seemingly modest façade. It is decorated with Tuscan pilasters, multiplied along the main axis and doubled at the corners, supporting a domineering entablature with a prominent cornice and a frieze adorned with triglyphs above the pilasters and in the central section. The façade is three-story, and on its central axis rises a tower framed by volutes, flanked by squat obelisks. The entire church building is covered by gable roofs. Inside, the elongated chancel is covered by a brick vault, adorned with modest stucco decoration. The chancel opens across its entire width, via a semicircular arcade, to the wider and higher, three-bay nave, covered by a barrel vault with lunettes. The nave walls are divided by deep (approx. 1 meter) arcade recesses and pairs of Tuscan pilasters, above which a full entablature runs the entire interior. The nave windows are set on two levels – the lower ones in deep recesses, the upper ones in disc-shaped lunettes. An additional architectural element, adding to the minimalistic architecture of the post-Franciscan church interior, is the choir loft, with its concave-convex parapet, richly decorated with profiled panels, and supported by two pillars supporting three arcades capped by a semi-circular arch.

The Professor Marian Falski Primer Museum collects Primers and collections from the field of education. The museum can be visited individually or in organized groups. The museum was established at the turn of 2004/2005 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Polish Teachers' Union. Professor Marian Falski, known primarily as the author of the most popular Polish primer of the 20th century, published under the title: "Nauka czyta i pióra wielu wznawianego" (Learning to read and write many times reissued), was chosen as its patron. The museum is located in the former Oxner manor house from the 19th century. Professor Falski was the son-in-law of Karol Oxner, the pre-war owner of Kuźnica, and the brother-in-law of the last heir of this estate, Seweryn Oxner. The residence contains, among other things, original desks, pre-war inkwells, photographs, lesson journals, globes, atlases and dozens of school aids. The museum is run by the Professor Marian Falski Self-Government Movement Association. https://www.galeriawielkopolska.info/kuznica-grabowska/

Right next to the church there is a great gravel track through the forest.

It's a pity that people mess around so much 😡, it would be nicer if it was tidy and clean.
