Szubina: Archaeological Traces Through Time and Cultural History

If you include Szubina in your travel plans with a focus on cultural history, it helps to distinguish clearly between the locations. The archaeological topics are in Szubina; the additional architectural and railway-related features concern Krośniewice and Nowe in the municipality. This makes it possible to distinguish the local traces through time from the wider municipal context. For choosing a theme for your hotel stay, this provides an informative starting point: archaeology in Szubina or historic architecture and transport history at the other locations mentioned.

Cultural History in the Municipality

In Krośniewice, the Jerzy Dunin-Borkowski Museum is housed in a Neoclassical complex of former inn buildings dating from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Rembieliński Palace and Park Complex includes a palace built around 1870 to a design by Leander Marconi. The Neo-Gothic Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, designed by Franciszek Tournelle and built in the second half of the 19th century, is also in Krośniewice.

These examples represent different types of buildings: former inn buildings, a palace and park complex, and a parish church. The construction dates mentioned also offer distinct historical reference points. The architecture in Krośniewice thus complements Szubina’s archaeological periods with its own building history.

Nowe is located within the municipality of Krośniewice. The wooden Church of St. Florian, dating from the second half of the 18th century, stands there. Its furnishings include three historic altars from the 18th century and an image of the Madonna and Child from the 17th century. This building brings together wooden church architecture and several dated furnishings; the image is the oldest of the objects mentioned here.

The narrow-gauge railway station in Krośniewice is also part of the region’s transport history. It is described as the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Poland and belongs to the Krośniewicka Kolej Dojazdowa; 1910 is given as the railway’s founding year. The station thus adds the subject of narrow-gauge railways to the municipality’s historical context.

For your thematic planning, the location is the key point: the archaeological traces relate to Szubina, while the buildings and station mentioned are in Krośniewice or Nowe. This allows you to consider the history of the town and the additional municipal context as distinct areas of focus.
