Church and Local History
The first church in Wola Rzędzińska was built in 1902–1903 at the initiative of local residents. The cornerstone of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was laid in 1902, and the church was consecrated in 1903. The residents’ initiative makes its construction a local community project and gives the town’s history a specific timeframe.
The church’s architectural features include cross-ribbed and stellar vaults. The terms describe different forms: in a cross-ribbed vault, intersecting ribs form the structure, while the rib pattern of a stellar vault creates a star-like design. This means the church offers an opportunity to compare two types of vaulting as well as explore its building history. Local history and vaulting styles sit side by side.
Remembrance and Hiking
In the town center are Military Cemetery No. 204 from the First World War and a monument to those killed in the First and Second World Wars. Both memorial sites relate to the First World War; the monument also commemorates those killed in the Second World War. They therefore represent different periods, although both are located in the center.
If you would like to plan a hike, you can follow the red TA-1241-c hiking trail. This 58-kilometer circular route goes around Tarnów and passes through Wola Rzędzińska. The stretch through the town is part of this longer loop; the stated distance refers to the entire circular route. This helps distinguish a walk through the town from the length of the full route.
