Discover Rzezawa
Accommodation in Rzezawa
Rzezawa can be explored through a history-themed quest that takes you on a circular route past the most important places, and through the architecture of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity and Saint Leopold. In the associated municipality, a pottery demonstration in Dębina adds a hands-on craft to the cultural experience. For planning your trip, you can distinguish between local history, church architecture and pottery. The Church of the Most Holy Trinity and Saint Leopold was built from brick and stone between 1848 and 1854 in the Pseudo-Renaissance style. Its construction dates, materials and style give the church’s architecture distinct characteristics.

History Quest on a Circular Route
The quest “Mała Rzezawa i ciekawa historyczna sprawa” leads through the most important places in Rzezawa. The circular route is 4 km long and takes about 1.5 hours. This makes the quest easy to plan as a standalone activity during your stay. The route was inaugurated in 2024 and explores Rzezawa’s history. Its title promises a historical mystery, with the quest’s questions bringing specific topics into focus. The quest also asks about a former inn and the people who brought stones for the church’s construction. In this way, it links local history with the church’s building history.
A printed game map and a quest booklet are available during the opening hours of the Gminne Centrum Kultury, Czytelnictwa i Sportu in Rzezawa. Check the opening hours before your visit if you plan to pick up the materials. This lets you combine preparation for the circular route with a visit to the cultural centre, without assuming any additional activities.
Pottery in Dębina
In Dębina, in the associated municipality, potter Stanisław Wydra demonstrates how clay vessels are made, shaped and fired. The demonstration covers several stages of pottery-making—from forming a vessel to finishing it in the kiln.

If you want to include the demonstration in your travel plans, arrange a suitable time in advance.
There are several different options for planning your visit: the circular route through Rzezawa has an approximate duration and distance, while the church and quest offer specific ways to explore local and architectural history.

Depending on which subject you would like to explore further, you can include the route, an exploration of the architecture or the demonstration as a standalone cultural activity.
