Tips from the Community
Historic Building: Built around 1889, it replaced wooden churches that had been destroyed in fires in 1770 and 1817. Due to the decline of the Jewish community in Sieraków, it was stripped of its temple features and sold in the 1920s. Until 1939, it housed the Mother and Child Care Center and the headquarters of the "Rzelec" (Shooter). After 1945, the "Zeglarz" cinema (Historisches Gebäude: Erbaut um 1889, ersetzte sie Holzkirchen, die bei den Stadtbränden von 1770 und 1817 niedergebrannt waren. Aufgrund des Niedergangs der jüdischen Gemeinde in Sieraków wurden die Tempelelemente in den 1920er Jahren entfernt und das Gebäude verkauft. Bis 1939 beherbergte es das Mutter-Kind-Zentrum und die Zentrale der "Rzelec" (Streikenden). Nach 1945 wurde dort das Kino "Zeglarz" (Seemann) untergebracht.)

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

The Rynek is not the most restful place, as it is effectively a roundabout for cars. Still there are some benches, icream parlour, Żabka and Lewiatan here if you need supplies. If you need a quieter place, head towards the castle, there you can find a quiet rest area overlooking the river.

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 bridge over the Warta River in Sieraków was built in the 15th century. It was a wooden structure that was repeatedly destroyed during spring floods or wars and then rebuilt. Only in the 1970s was the wooden bridge replaced by a reinforced concrete one that still exists today.

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. On its lower element on the north side there is an image of an insurgent cross. Urns with soil taken from the battlefields during the Greater Poland Uprising in the Sierakowska Land were embedded in the monument.
