Museums, Art and Local History
Since 2002, the main branch of the Muzeum Regionalne w Stalowej Woli has been housed in Zamek Lubomirskich, an 18th-century castle. A permanent exhibition explores the history of the former town of Rozwadów, now a district of Stalowa Wola. Alongside nature, this makes the historical development of a present-day city district another topic to explore during your stay.
The Muzeum Regionalne offers guided educational tours around Stalowa Wola for groups of at least 10 people. Another cultural venue is the Rozwadowski Dom Kultury “Sokół”, a branch of the Miejski Dom Kultury. It organises cultural education programmes and cultural events. The building was donated in 1906 by city residents to the Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne “Sokół”.
The Galeria Malarstwa Alfonsa Karpińskiego is housed in a listed former courthouse dating from 1905. The parish church complex of St Florian is also part of the city’s architectural character. It comprises a wooden church and a freestanding bell tower. The complex is listed under registration number A-203, dated 24.04.2007.

Stalowa Wola lies on the themed Turystyczny Szlak Gniazd Rodowych Lubomirskich; the Szlak Architektury Drewnianej also passes through the city.
