Nowy Żmigród: Sanctuary and Manor House Traces
Accommodation in Nowy Żmigród
Nowy Żmigród reveals different facets of its history: a historic church with a sanctuary, traces of a manor house complex and places of remembrance. Two pedunculate oaks stand beside the church. In the western part of the village, the remains of the manor house complex and a former manor house park with historic trees lie along the Wisłoka River. Religious history, a former park landscape and a culture of remembrance each add their own emphasis. When planning your trip, consider whether you are especially interested in sacred heritage, historic landscapes or remembrance of the First World War.

Church and Sanctuary
Nowy Żmigród is home to a historic church with the Sanctuary of Władysław Findysz, a priest and martyr. The relics of Blessed Władysław Findysz lie in a sarcophagus in a side chapel of the sanctuary. This gives the religious connection a specific place within the church: the side chapel with the sarcophagus is part of this story, alongside the sanctuary. Two pedunculate oaks stand beside the church. They complement the sacred building with a natural feature of the village landscape and add a different emphasis to its religious history. Those interested in culture and religious heritage will find several aspects together at this named location: the church, the sanctuary and the relics of Blessed Władysław Findysz.
Manor House Traces along the Wisłoka
Another historical focus lies in the western part of Nowy Żmigród, along the Wisłoka River. There you will find the remains of a manor house complex and a former manor house park with historic trees. The architectural remains and the park offer two perspectives on the former manor house landscape: the complex itself and the landscape character of the former park. The historic trees are explicitly part of this picture. For travellers interested in the history of estates and gardens, this topic offers a distinct focus alongside the sacred history. Thus, in Nowy Żmigród, the focus is not only on individual buildings but also on a historic park landscape.
Cemetery Chapel and Memorial Site
The historic cemetery chapel in the parish cemetery in Nowy Żmigród dates from the mid-19th century. The First World War military cemetery No. 8 has a different historical connection. It is located on the Szlak frontu wschodniego I wojny światowej. Together, the two cemeteries point to different chapters in the village’s history: the chapel is defined by its mid-19th-century date, while the military cemetery commemorates the First World War. If you would like to visit the military cemetery, please check the current conditions on site beforehand.
Choose the Right Focus for Your Trip
The historic sites offer different focal points for your stay. The sanctuary represents religious heritage, the former manor house park a historic landscape, and the military cemetery remembrance of the First World War. These differences can help you shape your trip around your interests before looking for a holiday apartment in Nowy Żmigród. If you are primarily interested in religious history, you will choose different focal points than if you are interested in manor house traces or memorial sites. In this way, choosing accommodation begins with the character you want to give your trip.
