Discover Granowo

Pałac w Granowie is a 19th-century manor house in a 4.57-hectare park on Stawowa Street. The listed palace complex also includes the Oficyna, a former manor house dating from the 18th century. The parish church of St. Martin is considered one of the most valuable heritage sites in the municipality of Granowo. Cycling routes connect Granowo with, among other places, Granówko and Kubaczyn.

The history of the manor house is linked to two Polish families: it was inhabited by the Działyński family in the 19th century and by the Czartoryski family in the 20th century. The Oficyna points to an older part of the complex: it dates from the 18th century and is part of the listed site as a former manor house.

The surroundings of the manor house also include the Biblioteka Publiczna Gminy Granowo and the Gminny Ośrodek Kultury. The library also serves as a cultural centre. Activities mentioned there include meetings of the Pracownia Gobelinu Artystycznego and the vocal ensemble “Granowianie,” tapestry exhibitions, and meetings with artists and book authors. The palace complex is therefore associated not only with its architectural history, but also with Granowo’s cultural institutions.

The parish church of St. Martin is an important landmark for those interested in cultural history. Its complex includes a wooden bell tower dating from the late 19th century. The church is also on the “Powiatowym Szlaku Turystycznym im. Michała Drzymały, Kościoły Drewniane Powiatu Grodziskiego.” This connection places it on a named tourist route and within the theme of wooden churches in Grodzisk County.

The grave of Michał Hoffmann is located by the church. He was a private in the 3rd Battalion of the western group of the Greater Poland insurgents and fell on the western front on 11 February 1919. In the centre of Granowo, Góra Zwycięstwa also commemorates the town’s history. The memorial park is at the intersection of Poznańska and Szkolna streets. The church, grave and memorial park thus offer different historical points of reference, each associated with a specific place in Granowo.

Granowo is served by several cycling routes. A cycle path built in 2012 connects the town with Granówko. It was created as part of the “Renewal and Development of Rural Areas” measure under the PROW programme for 2007–2013. Another cycle path connects Kubaczyn with Granowo. These routes are practical options for travellers who want to reach Granowo by bicycle or factor cycling into their choice of destination.

The pavement along Kościańska Street extends the newly built cycle path. A route allows residents of Drużyn to reach Granowo on foot or by bicycle. A covered rest area for tourists was also built next to the railway viaduct. These details describe different elements of the local route infrastructure; they do not imply a single circular route.
