Discover Skrzebowa

Skrzebowa lies on the Ołobok River, in the flat, moraine landscape of the Koźmińska Plateau. The village offers several clearly distinct themes for planning a trip: the parish church with its older works of art, the ruins of a Loreto Chapel, rural everyday culture at the EtnoMuzeum Stara Obora, and two different routes. To choose where to stay, you can first decide whether your main interest is sacred art, rural history, cycling or knowledge of plants. This will give you a clear idea of which aspects of Skrzebowa suit your interests.

Parish church: construction date and older art

The parish church was built in the Neo-Romanesque style in 1936–1937. Inside are a 14th-century granite baptismal font and, in the main altar, a wooden painting of Our Lady of Loreto from the first half of the 17th century. The construction and furnishings therefore belong to different periods: the church building dates to the 1930s, while the font and altarpiece add older religious art to its history. For those interested in cultural history, this layering offers more than a single stylistic feature; you can appreciate the building, the material and age of the font, and the Marian motif as distinct elements in their own right.

Loreto Chapel: ruins and cultural events

Another way to explore the village’s history is through the ruins of the former Loreto Chapel in Skrzebowa. The chapel was built as a replica of the House of the Holy Family; the surviving ruins preserve this distinctive connection as part of their historical context. They were entered in the register of historic monuments in 2013. This allows you to distinguish the religious significance of the original building from its subsequent recognition as a historic monument. A report dated 1 August 2026 describes the ruins as a venue for concerts and cultural events for more than twelve years. If a particular event is the deciding factor for your trip, check the relevant dates in advance.

Museum and rural life

The EtnoMuzeum Stara Obora focuses on rural everyday life rather than sacred architecture and art history. A description published in July 2026 presents hundreds of original exhibits in a historic barn. The museum is therefore a distinct cultural highlight for visitors interested in rural objects and ways of life as well as the church and chapel ruins. Check current opening information before visiting so your plans match the available visiting arrangements.

Cycling quest and plant trail

The Loretański Quest Rowerowy runs through Skrzebowa and nearby places in Ostrowski County. This cycling quest is a good option if you want to include an activity covering several places, rather than focusing on a single building. The Szlak Ziołowych Ławek, described in July 2026, connects places of interest in Skrzebowa and Moszczanka with information about plants that have been found in the countryside of Greater Poland for centuries. Route details may change, so check the latest information about the trail before planning your trip.
