Barns in Żarki

Highlight • Historical Site

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, farmers from Żary built several dozen barns (east of the dense urban development), where they stored their crops and agricultural equipment.
The buildings were wooden and thatched. They were all consumed by a fire in 1938.
In their place were built structures made of limestone and brick, covered with a gable roof with tiles.
Until recently, you could see 40 barns in Żarki, currently there are 32.
In their immediate vicinity, there is the largest marketplace in the entire region - on an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, up to 500 traders display their goods every Saturday.
Żarki is worth visiting during an interesting cyclical event - "Merchant's Neighbor". In one of the barns in Żary, you can listen to a folk band, try tartarczuch bread or other delicacies, buy regional products and souvenirs.
Kupiecki Sąsiek takes place on Saturdays every long weekend (May, June, August and on the Saturday preceding Palm Sunday).

Fossil Window – Leśniów

Highlight • Structure

The building with an unusual "window" is located at ul. Leśniowska, leading north towards the Zaklasztorze estate and bordering the Sanctuary area from the east. In the summer season, many cyclists pass here, but few people pay attention to this place.
A little further north you can park your car on the side of the road, near the intersection.
A place to park bicycles is located in the Sanctuary by the wall, next to the stairs leading to the church from the south, near the toilet.
