Dworek and park, a nice place to rest

Beautiful and quiet place. The area has an interesting sculpture, squeezed between streams and ponds. Interesting history and two manor houses, separated by 40 years. Built by a father and son, famous doctors. I was enchanted by the silence and atmosphere of this place

Feel the nature, it's worth taking your time there.

The manor house was built around 1930 according to the designs of the architect Witold Pokrowski, commissioned by Dr. Mateusz Chełmoński. In the 1990s, the manor house was owned by Piotr Stefański, the grandson of the founder of the manor house. Wooden and plastered manor house, set on a rectangular plan, with a regular shape, the building set on a stone foundation, single-storey, partially basemented, with a residential attic covered with a mansard roof with slopes covered with ceramic roof tiles. On the slopes of all four elevations there are extensions. On the longitudinal elevations they are topped with triangular gables, on the side elevations they are covered with a pediment roof. The front elevation is composed of 3 wide axes, of which the middle one in the form of a four-column Tuscan portico. On the garden elevation on the axis there is a terrace and a four-column Tuscan portico supporting the balcony of the first floor. The interior layout is two-bay with a hall and a living room on the axis. The whole is composed in a manor style with clear elements of classicism.

This is a special place, associated with the Chełmoński family, where a historic manor house surrounded by beautiful old trees, watercourses and lush vegetation is located on a hill. The park is not only an oasis of peace for walkers and cyclists, but also a vibrant cultural center, where artistic events, workshops and family picnics are regularly held. Anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city or wishing to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of old gentry life will find the perfect place for a one-day trip 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 incredibly picturesque place for his residence. 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. The Chełmoński family life took place in this charming place, and Józef Chełmoński himself was a frequent guest, who 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.

Fast asphalt (low resistance), almost always windy, lots of people on weekends, but still worth it...

A forest nature reserve located in the Nadarzyn commune in the Mazovian province. In 2003, a group of fallow deer was acclimatized here.
