Attractions and Places To See around gmina Nowy Dwór - Top 20

The Church of Our Lady of the Angels in Leipzig is a neo-Gothic church built in the early 20th century thanks to the dedication of the parish's residents and priests. Consecrated in 1914, it quickly suffered damage during World War I and later during World War II, but was always rebuilt and restored. Its distinctive façade with two towers and rich neo-Gothic interior give it a unique character. Noteworthy are the main altar dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels and the side altar with the miraculous 16th-century painting of Our Lady of the Basilica. It's truly worth stopping here.

The Church of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary is associated with the Orthodox period in the history of the monastery. It was built at the initiative of the nuns between 1904 and 1908 as a winter church. Its design is attributed to Nikolai Pavlovich Kozlov, an architect active at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. This architect, commissioned by the tsarist government, built a number of public buildings and churches. He also worked for the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church (it was by decision of this Synod that the nuns moved from Grodno to Różanystok in the early 20th century). His design for one of the buildings in Różanystok (the former monastery hospital) is confirmed in sources, so it can be assumed that he also designed the winter church. After the nuns' evacuation into Russia in 1915, the complex fell into the hands of the German army and then, back, to the Catholic Church. Currently, the church serves as a Catholic chapel of Our Lady Help of Christians." - source: https://rozanystok.salezjanie.waw.pl, accessed July 27, 2025.

Church of St. Anna in Kamienna Stara is a unique facility due to its age. It is the oldest wooden structure in Podlasie preserved to this day. It was founded by Piotr Wiesiołowski (the Younger) - the starosta of Kaunas, Tykocin and Wasilków, and later the marshal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Originally, it was only a manor chapel, the construction of which, according to local legend, was related to the case of the peasant daughter Anna, who was returning home from the manor, biting her to death by court dogs. It could therefore have been a form of a penitential chapel that, according to old penal law, a person guilty of death was supposed to set up at the crime scene as part of penance and reconciliation with the family of the deceased. The wooden church was located next to the summer residence of the Wiesiołowski family, which has not survived to this day. The church in Kamienna, renovated many times, has retained its original appearance and decoration to this day, reminiscent of medieval religious buildings. It represents the simplest, single-nave spatial arrangement, without a separate presbytery, closed on three sides from the east. Above the porch – a choir supported by two pillars. The inner walls of the temple are lined with horizontally arranged boards in a natural wood color. The floor is also made of boards. The chapel has a stone baptismal font with the date engraved - 1609. The most valuable element of the temple's historic equipment is a beautiful polychrome altar from 1610. It is a triptych with Saint. Anna from the same period. Every year, on the feast of St. Anna, which falls on July 26, is celebrated here. http://www.ciekawepodlasie.pl/opis/496,Ko%C5%9Bci%C3%B3%C5%82+%C5%9Bw.+Anny+z+1609+roku..htm
