Town Hall, Ciechanów, Poland

Ciechanów Town Hall is a neo-gothic building. It is located on the north side of the market. It was built in 1844 according to the design of the Italian architect Henryk Marconi (1792-1863). It was built of brick, on a rectangular plan, with a four-sided tower on the façade axis. The corners of the building are framed by polygonal pillars. Ogival windows. A cornice under the eaves made of suspended neo-gothic arcades, which at the same time forms the capitals of the pillars. The hipped roof is covered with sheet metal. The building is two-story, with a basement. It has a newer extension at the back.

In the panorama of the town, the Town Hall is a beautiful architectural accent, distinguished by its lightness and specific charm. To this day, it is the seat of the municipal authorities.

Krasinskis Palace, Opinogóra, Poland

The neo-Gothic palace in Opinogóra was built for Zygmunt Krasiński in the first half of the 19th century as a wedding gift (with Elżbieta Branicka) of General Władysław Krasiński. The palace - resembling a castle due to its neo-Gothic style - was used until 1843. Two years later it was extended, obtaining two additional salons on the north side.

Probably the castle (palace) was initially treated as a garden pavilion - after the expansion, guests were received there in the summer. A spacious manor house served as the main seat.

After the First World War, the damaged palace was provisionally secured. Further destruction took place during World War II, and devastation after the war.

In the years 1958-1961, it was rebuilt, its original form was restored and the Museum of Romanticism with a permanent exhibition devoted to Zygmunt Krasiński was established there.

Kościół św. Rodziny w Przedczu, czyli kościół trzeci z kolei

Wracając z zamku w Besiekierach przypadkowo trochę zboczyłem z trasy. Jednak pomyłka ta wyszła na dobre, ponieważ przybyłem do Przedcza, a przybywszy tam zobaczyłem Kościół św. Rodziny w Przedczu. Co sumarycznie w tym kościele jest najciekawsze, to chyba jego wielkość. Od razu pomyślałem „na pewno jakaś katedra”, a tu nic bardziej mylnego.
