Cultural sites on the Pola Lednickie
At the centre of the Pola Lednickie, the Brama Trzeciego Tysiąclecia stands on an artificially raised hill. The steel structure is a distinctive landmark; during gatherings, people walk through it. The Droga Trzeciego Tysiąclecia leads to the Brama. Along the way are Stations of the Cross and symbolic sites, including a replica of the Krzyż z Giewontu.
The main building, Świątynia Wiary, also has an unusual architectural feature: its entrance is shaped like a fish. A 500 kg Bible stands in the middle of the hall. The combination of the entrance’s shape and the Bible’s weight makes the building a noteworthy destination near Skrzetuszewo in its own right, beyond its function.
In addition to the main events, the Pola Lednickie host gatherings for various groups, including Lednica Dzieci, Lednica Seniora, and Lednica Motocyklistów. If you would like to plan your trip around one of these events, check the specific date before you travel. The first nationwide youth gathering on the Pola Lednickie took place in 1997.
Further details relate to art and remembrance: the upper floor of a building on the Pola Lednickie houses paintings by Professor Tadeusz Boruta and excerpts from the will of John Paul II. The Dom Jana Pawła II displays mementos of John Paul II, including a bronze cast of his hand.
