Pola Lednickie: buildings, route, and history

The main building at Pola Lednickie is Świątynia Wiary. Its entrance is shaped like a fish, and a 500-kilogram Bible stands in the centre of the hall. Distinctive details can thus be found both at the entrance and in the centre of the hall.

At the centre of Pola Lednickie, the Brama Trzeciego Tysiąclecia, a steel structure, stands on an artificially raised hill. During the gatherings, participants walk beneath it. The Droga Trzeciego Tysiąclecia leads to the gate. Along the route are Stations of the Cross and symbolic sites, including a replica of the Krzyż z Giewontu. The structure and the route are distinct, named points in the cultural landscape.

The first nationwide youth gathering at Pola Lednickie took place in 1997. The upper floor of a building features paintings by Professor Tadeusz Boruta and excerpts from the will of John Paul II. Memorabilia relating to John Paul II are displayed in Dom Jana Pawła II, including a bronze cast of his hand. The paintings and text excerpts sit alongside specific memorabilia, such as the cast of his hand, and offer different insights into the cultural history of the place.
