Nowe Kozery: Dwór Sarmata and leisure grounds

A local landmark in Nowe Kozery is Dwór Sarmata. The wider destination of Grodzisk Mazowiecki adds its own cultural, historical, and landscape themes to the picture.

Dwór Sarmata in Nowe Kozery

Dwór Sarmata is located on leisure and recreation grounds covering several hectares. The venue also has a banquet hall for up to 170 people. This places two different scales side by side: the size of the grounds and the capacity of the hall. These details give a concrete impression of this local landmark, without confusing the size of the grounds with the number of seats in the hall.

Culture and history in the wider destination of Grodzisk Mazowiecki

The railway’s history can be seen in several places. The railway station building in Grodzisk Mazowiecki was constructed from 1922 to 1924 and was one of the first stops on the Warsaw–Vienna Railway. Willa Foksal was designed in 1846 as an elegant inn for travelers on this railway. The station and the planned inn thus shed light on two different aspects of the same transport link.

The Willa Radogoszcz ethnographic gallery is now located in Willa Radogoszcz and offers museum lessons. The Church of St. Anne in Grodzisk Mazowiecki was built in several stages over a period of 200 years. The Jewish cemetery in Grodzisk Mazowiecki was established in 1780. These places bring together a contemporary cultural venue and building and memorial history spanning very different periods.

The history of the spa and park grounds is also part of the region’s story. Dr. Michał Bojasiński’s hydrotherapy establishment, opened in 1884, was designed to serve as a clinic, sanatorium, and hotel. Its park included an orangery and winter gardens. Dworek Adama Chełmońskiego was built in the mid-19th century and relocated in 1900. Willa Kaprys is a summer residence built in 1886. Its historic park contains stylized ancient sculptures, a plane tree, a hornbeam designated as a natural monument, and a preserved lime-tree avenue.

The garden at Dwór Skarbków features Baroque design elements. A spot in the garden was intended for summer concerts. This describes a planned use; it does not indicate that there is a current concert program.
