Introduction

Wielkopolska has been well known for its long history of stables and breeding facilities that have played a part in the development of horse breeding in Poland. The centres in Iwno, Racot, Pępowo, and Golejewko are a good example. The Stud Stable in Sieraków stands out as an important one, with its be-ginnings dating back to 1828! Whereas the Gostyń area is considered the centre of carriage makers. Also, in the town of Sza-mocin, near Chodzież, to this day it is possib-le to purchase a horse at a traditional horse market which has been in operation since the

th19 century.

Various tours on horseback are available in Wielkopolska. You may take advantage of many opportunities to relax in the saddle, depending on time available, skill level, and particular interests. Besides the scenic riding trails and everything that this region has to offer as part of the equestrian experience, along the way you will find many interesting places to enjoy, relax in, and explore while out of the saddle.

Włoszakowice – it was a hometown of the famous composer and conductor Karol Kur-piński (1785–1857), who wrote the patriotic song “Warszawianka” and the opera “Kra-kowiacy i Górale.” This town also boasts an 18th-century Sułkowskich hunting palace (built on the triangular plan) and an interes-ting Baroque church of the Holy Trinity.

Wolsztyn – it has been known for the Roundhouse and the Skansen of Folk Architecture in Western Wielkopolska. Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercular bacte-

thrium, lived and worked here in the 19 century. It is worthwhile to visit the Regional Museum of Marcin Rożek, an accompolished sculptor who among others has sculpted the statues of the Sawer in Luboń, Fryderyk Chopin in Poznań, and Bolesław Chrobry in Gniezno.

Osowa Sień – it is home to a Gothic church of St. Fabian and Sebastian with a wooden tower, a Neo-Renaissance palace, a Classicist manor by the church, and another manor from the same period situated near a mag-nificent chestnut alley.

Wieleń Zaobrzański – visitors may find here a late Baroque church of the Blessed Mary that was built by the Cistersians. Inside the church is a miraculous Gothic sculpture of the Blessed Mary of Wieleń that has drawn many pilgrimages. Near the church is

than eclectic manor from the turn of the 19 thand 20 centuries.

Przemęt – at the beginning of this town’s history, it was in the hands of Silesian Dukes and later of the king Władysław Jagiełło. Before the war with the Tutonic Knights, the king borrowed money pawning the town of Przemęt. In 1409, he permitted the Cister-sians to purchase the town and they have run

thit till the 19 century, which is when it was closed by the Prussians. The Baroque church of St. John the Baptist is all that has remained to this day.

Rakoniewice – this town is proud of its Wielkopolskie Museum of Fire Fighting that was established in the ‘70s in a former church building. Its collection includes both old and modern fire-fighting vehicles. The local archi-tecture includes some beautiful old structures with the characteristic half-timbered walls.

Obra – This is a village where the Cystersian thmonks settled in the 13 century. Since 1926

this facility has been in the hands of the Gathering of the Oblat Missionaries of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

Włoszakowice – it was a hometown of the famous composer and conductor Karol Kur-piński (1785–1857), who wrote the patriotic song “Warszawianka” and the opera “Kra-kowiacy i Górale.” This town also boasts an 18th-century Sułkowskich hunting palace (built on the triangular plan) and an interes-ting Baroque church of the Holy Trinity.

Wolsztyn – it has been known for the Roundhouse and the Skansen of Folk Architecture in Western Wielkopolska. Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercular bacte-

thrium, lived and worked here in the 19 century. It is worthwhile to visit the Regional Museum of Marcin Rożek, an accompolished sculptor who among others has sculpted the statues of the Sawer in Luboń, Fryderyk Chopin in Poznań, and Bolesław Chrobry in Gniezno.

Osowa Sień – it is home to a Gothic church of St. Fabian and Sebastian with a wooden tower, a Neo-Renaissance palace, a Classicist manor by the church, and another manor from the same period situated near a mag-nificent chestnut alley.

Wieleń Zaobrzański – visitors may find here a late Baroque church of the Blessed Mary that was built by the Cistersians. Inside the church is a miraculous Gothic sculpture of the Blessed Mary of Wieleń that has drawn many pilgrimages. Near the church is

than eclectic manor from the turn of the 19 thand 20 centuries.

Przemęt – at the beginning of this town’s history, it was in the hands of Silesian Dukes and later of the king Władysław Jagiełło. Before the war with the Tutonic Knights, the king borrowed money pawning the town of Przemęt. In 1409, he permitted the Cister-sians to purchase the town and they have run

thit till the 19 century, which is when it was closed by the Prussians. The Baroque church of St. John the Baptist is all that has remained to this day.

Rakoniewice – this town is proud of its Wielkopolskie Museum of Fire Fighting that was established in the ‘70s in a former church building. Its collection includes both old and modern fire-fighting vehicles. The local archi-tecture includes some beautiful old structures with the characteristic half-timbered walls.

Obra – This is a village where the Cystersian thmonks settled in the 13 century. Since 1926

this facility has been in the hands of the Gathering of the Oblat Missionaries of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

Krobia – the Romanesque Church of St. Idzi is worth a visit with its stone-and-brick walls. One may also glimpse the still-alive traditions of Biskupizna (an area that has been in the hands of regional bishops for centuries).

Pudliszki – Adam Mickiewicz and Cyprian thKamil Norwid, the two remarkable 19 -cen-

tury Polish poets have spent some time here in the Classicist palace of the Łubieński family. At present this town is mainly associated with the vegetable processing industry.

Worth Seeing:thRacot – this late 18 -century Classicist

Among some Polish aristocrats and luminaries who have been hosted here are: Duke Józef Poniatowski, Tadeusz Kościuszko, and Józef Wybicki who lived nearby and who has written plays for a lively local amateur theater. In 1928, the Racot Natio-nal Stable was established on the property.Gryżyna – there are some remaining ruins here of an early Gothic stone church of St. Martin that most probably was in

thoperation until the 18 century.Wławie – in this village visitors may admi-re the stones decorated with unique car-vings and inscriptions crated by an ama-teur sculptor Adolf Najeranowski.Kopaszewo – a Classicist palace of the Skórzewski family was erected around 1800. In 1831 Adam Mickiewicz paid a vi-sit here. Another frequent guest was the actress Helena Modrzejewska, wife of Ka-rol Chłapowski. In 1844 the estate was purchased by General Dezydery Chłapo-wski and from then on his eldest son inha-bited and managed it. Later it was trans-ferred to his daughter Zofia, wife of Jan Koźmian. After Zofia’s suicide in 1853, Jan Koźmian erected little chapels, stations of the cross, along the road leading from the palace to the cemetery near the Rąbiń church. That’s how the so-called Kopa-szewska Road of the Cross was created leading through the fields and forests from Kopaszewo to Rąbiń and back. Mszczyczyn – the Neo-Baroque manor

thfrom the end of the 19 century located here was later expanded in the National style. It is surrounded by a large landscape

Did you know that...

you may earn a badge called “Horse Lover – Everyone in Poland Rides Horses”?

In 2002, a descendant of General Chłapowski, Antoni Chłapowski, who runs the Equestrian Centre in Jaszkowo has come up with the initiative called “Everyone in Poland Rides Horses.” Following a similar initiative conceived in Sweden, its purpose is to promote horse riding and to spark in people of all ages an active interest in attaining basic equestrian knowledge and riding skills. This badge may be received only after passing a test in horse riding.

Neo-Gothic style was renovated in the be-thginning of 19 century by General Dezyde-

ry Chłapowski. He became a historical fi-gure through his involvement in fostering good farming management approach on his property and has thus been credited for laying the foundation for the development of modern agriculture in Poland. A former Napoelonic soldier, he learned about agri-culture from the ground up at farms in other countries including France. Once he com-pleted his foreign education, he transferred his then-new knowledge to his estate. The Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park, founded in 1992, has to this day retained the original agricultural landscape of that area thanks to his transformative efforts. Choryń – there is an old manor dating back

thto the end of the 18 century, a so-called new manor converted around 1820 from a farm utility building. Adam Mickiewicz was hosted here by Józef Taczanowski. Among its later owners was General Edmund Tacza-nowski, one of the military leaders of the 1863-1846 January Uprising.

Worth Seeing:

Witosław – visitors may sample the Wito-sław mead and check out the power of bee products enhanced with medicinal herbs (regarded as a form of apiphytotherapy), while visiting an eclectic palace built here at

th ththe turn of the 19 and 20 centuries.Rydzyna – a unique and one of few in Europe Baroque architectural arrange-ments makes up a system connecting the town with the magnate residence. The estate was the property of the Leszczyński

thfamily from the end of the 17 century until 1738. And from then on until the

thbeginning of the 20 century it remained in the hands of the Sułkowski family. The current design of the Baroque end-of-the-

th17 -century castle was achieved through three renovations, the most important of which was the one conducted by Martin Frantz.

thJeziorki – inside the 19 -century manor that reflects the Tyrolean building style are several guest rooms. Near the manor there are also three stables because the Jeziorki centre offers horse riding lessons and other attractions. Przybyszewo – a modern conference and recreation centre has been opened in the

theclectic palace from the turn of the 19 thand 20 centuries. This facility is the pro-

perty of the School of Marketing and Ma-nagement in Leszno. It also includes sta-bles and provides horse riding instruction.

Worth Seeing:

The Landscape Park of the Barycz River Valley – it is a park established in 1996 covering an area of 87,000 hectares. It is known for a preserve called the Milic-kie Ponds, a cluster of fish ponds that ori-

thginated in the beginning of the 13 cen-tury. It has been regarded as one of the most significant marsh preserve areas with water estuaries. And it has been included in the registry of the international conven-tion RAMSAR, as well as in the UN Living Lakes program for being one of barely ten such areas in the world. It is an excellent habitat for many bird species.Huta Stara – a Protestant church and an old cemetery are located in this village.

thMoja Wola – a 19 -century hunting lodge with an old park.Możdżanów – worthy of attention are: a

thhunting manor from the turn of the 19 thand 20 centuries and an old forest district

ranger cabin near which grows the biggest in the whole valley oak tree named Jan [John].

thginated in the beginning of the 13 cen-tury. It has been regarded as one of the most significant marsh preserve areas with water estuaries. And it has been included in the registry of the international conven-tion RAMSAR, as well as in the UN Living Lakes program for being one of barely ten such areas in the world. It is an excellent habitat for many bird species.Huta Stara – a Protestant church and an old cemetery are located in this village.

thMoja Wola – a 19 -century hunting lodge with an old park.Możdżanów – worthy of attention are: a

thhunting manor from the turn of the 19 thand 20 centuries and an old forest district

ranger cabin near which grows the biggest in the whole valley oak tree named Jan [John].
