Dorotka Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

It is a medieval tower which is one of the city's symbols and an important tourist attraction. It was built in the late 14th or early 15th century, initially in a rectangular shape, and later rebuilt in the mid-16th century with an oblong shape. The tower, about 9.5 meters high, was part of the city's defensive walls and has served various functions over the centuries, including a warehouse and a prison. It now houses the Center of Kalisz Fairy Tales and Legends, and is named after a local legend about a girl named Dorotka.

Wojciech Bogusławski Theatre

Highlight • Monument

The Wojciech Bogusławski Theatre in Kalisz is one of the oldest theatre venues in Poland, with the city's theatrical traditions dating back to the early 19th century. The current theatre building was constructed between 1920 and 1936 and is located at Wojciech Bogusławski Square on the Prosna River. Since 1936, it has been named after Wojciech Bogusławski. The theatre serves as Kalisz's main theatre institution, presenting classical and contemporary repertoires and organizing the Kalisz Theatre Meetings, one of the most important theatre festivals in the country, since 1961. The building is an architectural monument and a key element of the city's cultural life.

The University of Kalisz Rector's Office building is located in the historic former Polish Bank building on Wojciech Bogusławski Square in Kalisz. Built between 1924 and 1926 in the neoclassical style, the building served as a bank for decades. After the bank's closure, it fell into disuse and was then transferred to the university and undergone a thorough revitalization. Following the completion of the renovation in 2025, it became the representative seat of the University of Kalisz authorities, housing the Rector's office, administration, and conference rooms. The building is an example of the successful adaptation of a historic building to academic functions and is one of the city's most important public buildings.

Kogutek Pond

Highlight • Lake

The "Rooster" Pond in Kalisz is a circular, historic pond located in the City Park, established in 1843. It was created as a result of water regulation works, with water piped from the Prosna River. The pond's name comes from a tin rooster statue once placed on a gazebo on an island in the center of the reservoir. The pond is a permanent feature of the park landscape and has served as a recreational area since the 19th century.

Statue of Flora

Highlight • Monument

The Flora sculpture in Kalisz City Park is a figure of the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, which has adorned the park since the 19th century as part of its historic small-scale architecture. The original 19th-century sculpture is currently located in the courtyard of Kalisz City Hall for conservation purposes, and a faithful replica stands in the park. This sculpture is often identified with the "flower girl" and is one of the few park statues to survive, while others were destroyed during the 20th century. Flora is also a target of vandalism, so the replica in the park has been repaired and secured several times.
