The town hall connects its architecture with the site’s long building history: the present building was constructed between 1799 and 1804, after earlier buildings dating from the 14th to 18th centuries had already stood there. The galleries on the ground floor are particularly striking. Their arcade-like form is supported by massive pillars. The town hall offers a tangible introduction to Jarocin’s history without reducing the city to its past alone.

The Regional Museum is located in Pałac Radolińskich. Its permanent exhibition is dedicated to the history, culture and artistic traditions of the Jarocin region. Visitors interested in the region can explore various aspects of its development together in one exhibition. The Skarbczyk is another branch of the Regional Museum.

Rock history is also present in the cityscape. The Pomnik Glana refers to Jarocin’s festival tradition. Spichlerz Polskiego Rocka is a venue for a range of cultural and educational projects. The project “Z kontrkultury w popkulturę” is associated with Spichlerz: its large-scale murals in Jarocin explore the history of Polish rock. At Klubcafé Spichlerz, both young bands and established artists can perform. These places offer different ways to engage with music and culture—from the monument and murals to projects and possible performances.

Radolińskich Park covers around 30 hectares and was laid out between 1840 and 1850. Its distinctive features include one of Europe’s longest hornbeam avenues, as well as numerous trees of monumental significance. This makes the park a destination in its own right alongside the museums and places connected with rock history. If historic parks and old trees are a particular interest when planning your trip, you’ll find plenty to explore here.

The 24.5 km green hiking trail connects several named stops: it starts at the railway station, passes through the market square and Pałac Radolińskich, and continues to Jarocin’s town park. Take this distance into account when planning your day. The railway station is at ul. Dworcowa 1. To take a cycling tour of the murals scattered around Jarocin, you can contact representatives of Stowarzyszenia RoweLOVE Jarocin in advance. The hiking route and this cycling tour offer different ways to explore Jarocin.
