St. Anne's Ponds and Chapel

Highlight • Lake

Stawy Świętej Anny is the recreational area of Mszczonów. Two beautiful water reservoirs located among forests, only 4 kilometers from the city, delight with their unique beauty. You can have a good time there. Take advantage of the beach and take a walk in the surrounding forests. There is also a designated place to light a bonfire for organized groups.
The patron of the ponds is Saint Anna, whose figure rises above the larger of the two reservoirs. The first chapel of Saint Anna was built in the 18th century. Currently, there is not even a trace of it. The historic figure burned down in the 1960s and a copy of it was stolen. The current chapel differs from the original in almost everyone. Its wooden case has been completely changed. The historical figure has been preserved only in the photos from the twenties of the last century, which have been preserved to this day in the album of the Poles from Badowo Mścisk. There is a theory according to which the chapel was erected as a memorial to the battle, from the time of the Bar Confederation, in which Polish troops led by General Sawa (of Cossack origin) clashed with the tsarist troops. The general was wounded there, and later hid in the vicinity of Mszczonów. Count Henryk Rzewuski described this story in his short story "Sawa", included in the collection entitled "Souvenirs of Soplica".


St. Anna, from their sources, supply the nearby Pisia Gągolina, the sources of which are located in the nearby Dwórzno. Going for a walk from "Święta Anka" along the river, you will reach the equally beautiful Grzegorzewice ponds after about a kilometer. The Gnojna ponds are also located nearby, where a fauna reserve was established in 2004. The whole area is therefore rich in beautiful water reservoirs, surrounded by forests and areas with charming landscapes, typical of Mazovia.

The larger of the two ponds of St. Anna is a place that the inhabitants of Mszczonów use for recreation, although it does not formally have the status of a swimming pool. The second, smaller pond has been left entirely to nature. Swimming and fishing are strictly forbidden there. This reservoir is an oasis of all birds and fish. Both ponds are separated by a dyke, which is often used by hikers.

The ponds and the bathing area at the St. Anne's chapel are owned by the commune, although the entire facility is directly supervised by the Mszczonów district of the Polish Angling Association.

January 18, 2026, St. Anne's Ponds and Chapel

Actually, there are two chapels, both rebuilt. The originals were stolen, and one even burned down; their tangled history is described on a plaque nearby.

There's a large tree growing by the café behind the palace. I remember it being a rare species, and I think it's a Ginkgo biloba. Such a specimen is unique in Poland. It might be a tulip tree, though. I can't remember exactly, but I think someone might be interested in this tree, especially if they're as interested in plants and trees as she is.

Recreational and sports areas located in Grodzisk Mazowiecki at ul. Stawowa 10. It is assumed that they were created in the 19th century as a result of the damming of the Rokicianka River. In 2012, on the 490th anniversary of Grodzisk Mazowiecki receiving city rights, the ponds were revitalized, including a complete reconstruction of the facility, including cleaning and widening the water reservoirs, and planting plants.

The current palace was built between the tower and the early Baroque palace (currently non-existent) and received its current form at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries after a classicist reconstruction carried out by Kazimierz Krasiński, the Crown Campiander, according to the design of Jakub Kubicki. At that time, a columned porch with a terrace in front of the main entrance was also built. The expansion of the palace complex was later continued by Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński, who created a landscape park around the palace that exists to this day and rebuilt the small castle in the neo-Gothic style, which is the remains of the former Radziejowski tower. Over the following decades, Radziejowice was visited by people of culture, including Juliusz Kossak, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Lucjan Rydel, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Józef Chełmoński, Stanisław Masłowski.

Adam Chełmoński Manor is a historical monument located in Adamowizna, in the commune of Grodzisk Mazowiecki. It is a branch of the Cultural Centre in Grodzisk Mazowiecki and serves an educational and cultural function. The manor offers various forms of education, including permanent classes and cultural events. The manor is located in Adamowizna Park. The history of Adamowizna Park is inextricably linked to the Chełmoński family. Around 1899, Adam Chełmoński, an outstanding doctor specializing in pulmonary diseases, at the urging of his brother Józef - a famous painter - purchased an old steward's house located in Kuklówka. The building was moved and placed on brick foundations in the settlement of Młyniska na Stare, which later took the name Adamowizna - after the name of the owner. Adam Chełmoński chose an extremely picturesque place for his headquarters. The manor house was situated on a hill, surrounded by the Mrowna River, which flows around the estate on almost every side, in the vicinity of a pond and forest. This charming place was the home of the Chełmoński family, and Józef Chełmoński himself was a frequent guest, as he loved the surrounding landscapes and nature. The manor house even appears in his painting "Winter. Manor House at Dusk", which is currently located in the Silesian Museum in Katowice. In 2006, the Grodzisk Mazowiecki commune purchased the property from the Chełmoński family and began efforts to restore the building and the surrounding park. After years of renovation work, in November 2020, the building was officially opened to residents and tourists as a branch of the Grodzisk Mazowiecki Cultural Center.
