History and Architecture

The Antoni Ostrowski Palace was built in 1812 on the site of an earlier 17th-century palace. This earlier palace was built by Kasper Denhof and, in turn, used the walls of a destroyed castle. The palace in Ujazd can be viewed from the outside.

St. Wojciech Church in Ujazd was built between 1674 and 1676 at the initiative of Gniezno Archbishop Andrzej Olszewski. In 1892, a Baroque family chapel-mausoleum of the Ostrowski family, designed by the architect Konstanty Wojciechowski, was added to the church. The church contains a Rococo pulpit brought from Italy between 1810 and 1818, has Rococo altars and an Ostrowski Chapel. As a Baroque church, St. Wojciech also has a bell tower built in the 18th century in the Neoclassical style.

The St. Anna Cemetery Chapel is protected under the heritage register.
