The best museums Kazimierz Dolny

Above the castle, a small mountain continues its ascent to the sky. As a reward, it has been planted with three crosses in honor of the population of Kazimierz Dolny, decimated by the plague in 1708. This is the highest point in the city, and from here the view that stretches across the Polish countryside and the small town below is most impressive. A very good spot to watch the sun gently set over the roofs.

This monastery dates from the 17th century. It is accessed by a covered staircase dating from 1699. One can enter the courtyard and ask to see the well, which is located in a second courtyard further in the compound. During World War II, the building was requisitioned as the headquarters of the Gestapo, and the Nazis used the headstones of the Jewish cemetery as partitions between the prison cells they created in the basement of the monastery. Since then, the monks have been trying to consecrate the place again in peace.

Built in 1325, this is the oldest place of worship in the city. First of Gothic style, it was redesigned during the Renaissance after a fire in 1561, in the style of Lublin. Inside, the arch of the church is covered with geometric decorations, such as circles, squares, hearts, stars and rosaces. It houses an organ of 1620, among the oldest in Poland. It is closed outside offices, which are held twice a day at 9 a. m. and 6 p. m. The church was completely restored in the 2010 s.
