Last weekend, we took part in another edition of the European Heritage Days, which this year had the theme \u201cDiscovering the Region\u2019s History and Architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Saturday, participants in the bike tour \u201cWhere Monks in White Robes\u2026\u201d (organized by PTTK Pi\u0142a and PTTK W\u0105growiec) visited, among other places, the church in Tarn\u00f3w Pa\u0142ucki\u2014one of the oldest wooden churches in Poland. It was here that the history of architecture on Polish soil began, with wood serving as the primary building material for centuries. Another highlight of the program was the \u01413 archaeological site in \u0141ekno\/Tarn\u00f3w Pa\u0142ucki, which was restored by volunteers as part of the \u201cTogether for Cultural Heritage\u201d program of the National Institute of Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n
Here, the participants learned more about the history of the transition from wooden construction to masonry\u2014from the pre-Romanesque rotunda dating back to the time of Boles\u0142aw the Brave, through the Romanesque oratory, to the Gothic expansion of the monastery church. This extraordinary place offers a chance to observe, on a small scale, how the history of monumental architecture on Polish soil has taken shape.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, however, a Nordic walking tour titled \u201cIn the Footsteps of the Cistercians\u201d took place in the D\u0119bina Nature Reserve. It was led by certified instructor Honorata Mazur. Before the participants set out, they listened to a lecture on the activities of the Cistercians, their economy, and their influence on the cultural landscape. The D\u0119bina Nature Reserve is part of the former monastery forest (Magna Silva), where oak trees planted by the Cistercians in the 18th century still stand. After the hike, everyone enjoyed a snack prepared by the Wiatrowiec Rural Women\u2019s Association. The mayor of W\u0105growiec, Ma\u0142gorzata Chmielarz, also took part in the event and emphasized how important it is to combine physical activity with the promotion of local cultural heritage. The excursion concluded with a commemorative photo in front of the famous \u201cKorfantym\u201d\u2014a natural monument and one of the nature reserve\u2019s most recognizable symbols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
