Tips from the Community
Parish erected in 1216. The first wooden church was built by Iwo Odrowąż in 1216 on the Łukawka river (now Opatówka) and he named the hill on which the temple was built Jankowice after his name (Iwo - Breton form of the name Jan). The church initially functioned under the invocation of St. Thomas Becket. The document of the church's erection was kept in the parish until 1814, when after the death of the then parish priest Jan Gębiczyński, the executor - Lassota, the leaseholder of Przezwód, gave it to the heir of Przezwód, Ignacy Romanowicz, who, despite repeated subsequent requests from subsequent parish priests, did not return the document.

One of the 5 chapels called "Chocim lighthouses". They were erected around Sandomierz, probably at the end of the 17th century. This one is located in Nowe Kichary, municipality of Dwikozy. Unfortunately, it is in a fenced orchard. It can be seen from the road (approx. 100 m)

Beautiful, but unfortunately short (2 km) section for cycling or walking. I recommend it especially on hot days. Most of it is in the shade of trees. The route starts (or ends) at the foot of the castle in Sandomierz and runs through the park towards the "new town". Unfortunately, the path is on the street, but fortunately among single-family houses and not some busy street.

The Royal Castle in Sandomierz is one of the most important historical buildings in the city, located on a slope above the Vistula River. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and for centuries served as a royal residence and the seat of starosts. In the 17th century it was partially destroyed by the Swedes and later transformed into a prison, which operated until the 1950s. Currently, it houses the District Museum, where you can see exhibitions on the history of Sandomierz, art and archaeology. From the castle hill there is a beautiful view of the Vistula and the city, which makes this place an attractive point on the tourist route.

Royal castle erected on the Vistula escarpment in Sandomierz - the original walls were built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir III the Great. In the 16th century, during the reign of King Sigismund I the Old, the castle was dismantled, seriously modernized and expanded. During the Swedish Deluge in the 17th century, the castle was almost completely ruined by being blown up. Only the western wing survived, which is the only remnant of its former glory.
