The brick synagogue was built between 1882 and 1885 in the eclectic style. Dąbskie Błota provides a habitat for wetland birds, including cranes, herons and rails.

What historical landmarks can you find in Dąbie?
The town hall dates from 1811 to 1814. Its location is also precisely described: on Plac Mickiewicza, at the northwest corner of the town square and opposite the north façade of St Nicholas Church.
Another landmark is the brick synagogue, built between 1882 and 1885 in the eclectic style. A small fragment of Hebrew polychrome decoration survives in the attic on the eastern side. The text reads: “Truly, this is the house of God.”
The churches and cemeteries also reflect different historical influences. The Evangelical-Augsburg church was built on ul. 1-go Maja and is now privately owned. The Baptist church in Dąbie is currently the best-preserved monument attesting to Dutch settlement in the Łęczyca region. The Evangelical cemetery dates from the first half of the 19th century. Since 2003, neglected gravestones of historical and artistic value have been systematically restored in the Roman Catholic cemetery.
What natural attractions does the municipality offer?
Dąbskie Błota is a habitat for birds that live in wetlands. The species mentioned include cranes, herons and rails. If you are particularly interested in birds and wetlands, this natural attraction offers a different focus from Dąbie’s architectural and cemetery history.
Another option is the kayaking route on the Ner, which is just under 20 kilometres long. It starts in the municipality of Świnice Warckie and ends within the municipality of Dąbie. The route is therefore specifically an activity in the municipality, not a description of a route starting in the town of Dąbie. The Grabina nature and educational trail is also in the municipality; there are parking spaces for seven cars there.
