Discover Bojanowo
Accommodation in Bojanowo
Bojanowo combines a clearly defined town layout with several traces of its history: the Market Square is part of a square town plan, while a protected sightline along the road to Pakówka identifies the church tower as the visual focal point. The town’s brewing history, a former synagogue and a blue cycling route starting at the railway station add to the picture. These different points of interest can help you choose Bojanowo according to the focus of your trip—whether that is the townscape and architectural history or exploring by bike.

Market Square and townscape
The Market Square is part of Bojanowo’s square town plan. It is lined mostly with tightly grouped, one- and two-storey buildings dating from the second half of the 19th century, with their roof edges facing the square. This describes how the houses are oriented towards the edge of the square: their eaves side—the side beneath the roof edge—faces the square. Together with the largely continuous development, this gives the square a clearly defined shape, while the varying number of storeys adds variety to the row of buildings.
The town hall stands in the middle of the southern side of the Market Square. The square’s layout can therefore be described not only by its square plan but also by a specific landmark. If you are interested in architecture, you can look at the relationship between the town hall, the shape of the square and the buildings, most of which date from the late 19th century. The buildings around the square shape Bojanowo’s historic townscape.
Brewing history and former synagogue
Bojanowo’s brewing history has two important dates: brewing in the town dates back to 1685, and the brewery was founded in 1881. These dates refer to different things: 1685 marks the early beginnings of the brewing tradition, while 1881 marks the founding of the brewery. The town’s history therefore encompasses both a long-standing brewing tradition and a later founding date.
Another landmark is the former synagogue, dating from 1859, on Bojanowskiego Street. Its former use makes it a tangible point of connection to Bojanowo’s Jewish history. Together with the town hall and the Market Square, it broadens the view of the town’s past beyond the architecture of the square. If your trip is focused on historic architecture and different chapters of the town’s history, you will find several distinct themes here.
Sightline and cycling route
A protected sightline has been designated along the road from Bojanowo to Pakówka. It extends 1 km from the boundaries of the historic ensemble, with the church tower as its visual focal point. The relationship between the historic ensemble, the road and the tower is a notable feature of the townscape. The church tower is not just a building in its own right; within this sightline, it also defines the direction of view.
For a cycling trip, the blue cycling route offers a distinct starting point: it begins at Bojanowo railway station. This information may be useful when planning a bike ride, although no route length or specific destination is given. Bojanowo therefore offers different travel interests side by side: the built fabric of the Market Square, historic sites and a cycling route for orientation. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can start by considering which of these interests you want to shape your trip.
