Attractions and Places To See around Żyrzyn - Top 20

The avenue-memorial was unveiled in March 2022. The Jewish population first appeared here in 1837, in the village of Modrzyce—hence the "Modrzyce Jews." During the Holocaust, the century-old community was exterminated. During the German occupation, Poles also rescued persecuted Jews in Dęblin, which was particularly challenging. Tadeusz Opieka, with the support of several members of the Friends of Dęblin Society, initiated the creation of the monument and avenue, which commemorates over 20 Dęblin families. The path leads to the war cemetery. Fifty-one linden trees were planted along the avenue.

Worth visiting, interesting place.

It's impressive, I wasn't lucky enough to get in.

In the Temple of the Sibyl, Princess Izabela Czartoryska collected family mementos of the Sieniawski, Lubomirski and Czartoryski families, as well as mementos of great Poles: kings, leaders, scholars and poets, which were to remind us of the glorious national past after the partitions of Poland. There were, among others, objects related to Bolesław the Brave, Casimir the Great, Stanisław Żółkiewski, Tadeusz Kościuszko, Nicolaus Copernicus (a brick from the tenement house at Kopernika 30, then considered the birthplace of the astronomer[2]) and Jan Kochanowski. In the lower storey of the Temple, an obelisk dedicated to Prince Józef Poniatowski[3] was placed. In 1830, before the November Uprising, the collections were evacuated to Paris. Then they returned to Kraków, becoming the nucleus of the Czartoryski Princes Museum. In the Temple of the Sibyl, the museum was reactivated only in 1938 and is open to the public to this day.

The Temple of the Sybil in Puławy – a rotunda-shaped building that was part of the palace and park complex at the Czartoryski Palace in Puławy; the first Polish museum. It was a garden imitation (folly) of an ancient temple.

"Beyond the Vistula in this direction lies a pretty village at the foot of a mountain adorned at the top with a palace in the Italian style, a beautiful structure, with magnificent vestibules, marble ornaments, and a sumptuously furnished drawing room. […] This house is undoubtedly the most beautiful example of newer architecture in Poland". This is how the Frenchman Daleyrac describes the first residence in Puławy, built in the years 1671-1676. Its founders were the then owners of Puławy - Grand Marshal of the Crown Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski and his wife Zofia née Opalińska. One of the most enlightened couples of the then Republic of Poland entrusted the execution of the design of the building to an outstanding Dutch architect - Tylman van Gameren. The palace was situated on the edge of a high escarpment, and around it stretched Baroque, regular gardens.

At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Puławy was the centre of political, cultural and literary life. This was due to Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski and his wife Izabela née Flemming, who brought the most outstanding artists (Jan Piotr Norblin), writers (Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz) and architects (Christian Piotr Aigner) to the Puławy court. It was here, in the Temple of the Sybil (1801) and the Gothic House (1809), that the duchess created the first museum on Polish soil. It became the seed of a great collecting, cultivated to this day. The end of the Puławy centre was the time of the November Uprising, when the Czartoryski estate was confiscated and the Czartoryskis themselves went to Paris to emigrate. The Alexandrian Institute for the Education of Ladies was located in Puławy, and subsequently the Polytechnic and Agricultural-Forestry Institute and the Institute of Rural Economy and Forestry. Currently, the owner of the palace and park complex is the Institute of Cultivation, Fertilization and Soil Science.
