Antoniewo: Village History and Lakeside in the Municipality

For a stay in Antoniewo, it is worth exploring attractions in the surrounding municipality: Kłóbka is known for its reconstructed village and rural architecture, while a path along Lake Lubień in Lubień Kujawski follows the lakeshore to an amphitheatre. This gives you two different types of excursions to consider when choosing your holiday apartment: would you like to explore historic buildings and crafts, or add a lakeside walk to your stay?

Historic Village Architecture in Kłóbka

Kłóbka lies among hills, forests, and lakes; the place is also known as the “Pearl of Kuyavia.” The Kujawsko-Dobrzyński Ethnographic Park in Kłóbka features more than a dozen examples of rural architecture; the oldest date back to the 18th century. Authentic rural buildings from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries include thatched wooden houses, farm buildings, granaries, and a windmill. Together, they offer a glimpse of rural architectural styles across several eras.

At the centre of the reconstructed village are an old inn, a schoolhouse, a fire station, and a church. A blacksmith’s workshop, an oil mill, a pottery workshop, and a post mill have also been reconstructed. This means the same complex brings together both the village centre and specialised buildings for crafts and work.

Manor House and Ways to Visit

The open-air museum also includes a manor house from the mid-19th century, where Maria z Wodzińskich Orpiszewska lived. Her life and artistic work are presented in the manor house. This broadens the perspective: alongside the reconstructed village, visitors can learn about the story of one resident and her artistic work.

Several visit options are available: self-guided visits to the village and park without entering the buildings, separate guided tours of the village or manor house, and combined guided tours of all the sites. Check the latest booking details in advance if visiting the interiors or taking a guided tour is important to your plans.

Folk Festivals and Lakeside

The folk festivals in the “Z życia dawnej wsi” series take place annually on the last Sunday in June, the first Sunday in August, and the second Sunday in September. The festivals combine demonstrations of traditional crafts and former activities with regional dances to folk music, as well as themed presentations about past customs and rituals. Check the specific festival dates before your trip.

The path along Lake Lubień in Lubień Kujawski offers a different kind of excursion. It runs from the car park by the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus along the lakeshore to the amphitheatre and passes through an area of notable natural value. While Kłóbka brings together village architecture, crafts, and cultural history, this path is defined by its lakeside route and the amphitheatre at its destination.

For orientation in Kłóbka: the Kujawsko-Dobrzyński Ethnographic Park is 6 km from the “Kowal” interchange on the A1 motorway and close to National Road 91.
