View of Zalew Sulejowski

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sulejowski Reservoir, as this reservoir is called, is located in the Łódź province between Sulejów and Smardzewice. It is one of the largest reservoirs in central Poland. It was created in the years 1969-1973 by damming the Pilica River, along its 139 km length, with a dam in Smardzewice. The dam that was created there is about 1200 m long, 16 m high, and its width at the crest is 10 m. The created reservoir has an area of 2700 ha, a length of about 17.1 km, and a varied width, which in some sections is even about 3 km. The maximum depth of the reservoir is 10 m at the dam, while the average depth of the reservoir is 3.3 m.

Nagórzyce Caves

Highlight • Cave

The Nagórzyckie Caves in Tomaszów Mazowiecki are 18th-century excavations of an underground quartz mine. They are located in the former village of Nagórzyce, now a district of the city. The sandstone rocks from which they are built date back to the Cretaceous period. Sand extraction continued until the beginning of the 20th century, when mining was banned after the tragic collapse of one of the chambers. After years of oblivion, the caves were restored thanks to the support of the European Union and opened to tourists in 2012. This place is associated with the legend of the robber Madej.

Pilica River Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

An interesting open-air museum. There is a water mill with equipment, 30 millstones, military items (Pilica war trophies), and even a building that used to be the Tsar's toilet! A bit of a mix of everything, but interesting!

Sanctuary of St. Anne in Smardzewice

Highlight • Religious Site

In the 16th century, Smardzewice belonged to the parish of Nagórzyce. The first wooden church of St. Anne was built in the years 1621–1622, funded by the Bishop of Kujawy, Paweł Wołucki, and dedicated in 1642. The temple was situated in the place where in 1620 St. Anne appeared to the local farmer, Wojciech Głowa, together with Jesus and Mary. Due to the increasing number of pilgrims, Bishop Maciej Łubieński brought the Conventual Franciscans to Smardzewice in 1639, for whom he founded a wooden monastery. In the years 1683–1699, a brick church was built as a votive offering from the Bishop of Warmia, Stanisław Zbąski, in gratitude for the graces received, especially the gift of health. The temple was dedicated on 6 October 1701 by Bishop Andrzej Albinowski. Next to the church, from the foundation of the Bishop of Włocławek Krzysztof Szembek (later Primate of Poland), a brick monastery was built in the years 1722–1746, and the entire complex was surrounded by a wall. The parish in Smardzewice was established on 26 July 1775. Less than a hundred years later, in 1864, the tsarist authorities dissolved the Franciscan monastery in Smardzewice. This was a form of repression against the monks for their help given to the January Uprising insurgents. The care of St. Anne's Church was taken over by the priests of the Sandomierz diocese. In 1971, with the consent of Bishop Piotr Gołębiowski, the Franciscans took over the institution again. The church and the monastery form a quadrangle. The temple is a Baroque, oriented building. The main nave is clearly distinguished, the presbytery is slightly higher. The main altar of St. Anna dates back to around 1700, and houses a miraculous painting of St. Anne from the first half of the 17th century in regency-style dresses. diecezja.radom.pl/smardzewice-parafia-pw-sw-anny-sanktuarium
