The Cistercian Abbey Monastery Complex in Sulejów – located in Podklasztorze (currently a district of Sulejów), one of the best-preserved Cistercian complexes in Poland, a monument of Romanesque architecture. On 22 October 2012, the building was entered on the list of Historic Monuments.

A dam reservoir on the Luciąża River, the second largest reservoir in Piotrków County with a water surface area of 217 ha and a capacity of 7.34 million m³. Located in Piotrków County in the communes of Łęki Szlacheckie (70% of the coastline), Rozprza and Gorzkowice. In the 1960s, a comprehensive plan for irrigation and meadow management in the Luciąża River valley was developed. Its construction began in 1986 and it was put into service in 1998. During construction, the inhabitants of the villages of Kuźnica Żerechowska, Łęgoń, Wygoda, Trzciniec and Borowiec were relocated, after which a chapel protruding from the water surface remained. The purpose of the reservoir was from the beginning to irrigate meadows for milk production and to serve as a water retention facility. Currently, it is a popular place of recreation and relaxation in Piotrków County. It is also appreciated by anglers who catch pike, crucian carp, roach, carp, bream and many other species of fish. The maximum depth of water near the dam is 12 meters. In the reservoir, during the season, water equipment rentals are available: boats, kayaks, water bikes. There are numerous camping sites and camping houses around the reservoir.

Fenced, well-maintained, renovated. Everything around is tidy.

The first mentions of Sulejów date back to 1145, when the settlement belonged to the Habdanków family from Kraków. At that time, their small princely stronghold was located on the hill where the parish church is currently located. Shortly afterwards, in 1176, Casimir the Just founded a Cistercian abbey on the other bank of the Pilica River. It was then that the Habdanków stronghold also received its own church. It was the Cistercians who built the first wooden church here and established a parish in Sulejów. It was established in 1184 by the Archbishop of Gniezno, Zdzisław of the Koźle Rogi coat of arms, and later Casimir the Just, with the help of Bishop Idzi of Modena, brought the relics of St. Florian to the church. The current church was built in the years 1901-1903, and the main building material was already red brick and ashlar stone. The church was built in the neo-Gothic style, and the design was created by Feliks Nowicki - the same one who designed the Piotrków villa "Wanda" (read more - here), the Piotrków court building (read more - here), as well as the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Kamieńsk and the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Bęczkowice in the Łęki Szlacheckie commune. The construction was completed in 1905, and three years later the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Kujawy and Kalisz, Stanisław Kazimierz Zdzitowiecki. During the ceremony, the church was renamed St. Florian the Martyr and St. Leonard the Confessor, and the relics of St. Serenus and St. Caste were placed in the main altar. https://epiotrkow.pl/news/Odkrytamy-znane-i-nieznane--Kosciol-sw-Floriana-w-Sulejowie,46983
