Discover Kobylin: Culture and cycling routes

The late Gothic parish church was built in 1512–1518 and remodelled in 1782; its high altar contains a Renaissance triptych dating from around 1518. A wooden clock tower from the 18th century is considered a remnant of a Protestant prayer house. The cycling routes described are 27, 32 and 34 kilometres long.

Several periods come together in the parish church: it was built in 1512–1518 and remodelled in 1782. The high altar contains a wooden Renaissance triptych dating from around 1518. It depicts the legend of Saint Stanislaus, bishop and martyr. The approximate date of the altarpiece is therefore close to the church’s construction period; the remodelling marks a later phase in the church’s history.

Another striking building is the wooden clock tower from the 18th century, considered a remnant of a Protestant prayer house. Beside the monastery church stands a brick-built, plastered chapel from the same century. It contains two Gothic figures: Our Lady of Sorrows and Christ in Distress. The parish church, clock tower and chapel thus represent different forms of sacred architecture and furnishings.

The Franciscan church is also part of Kobylin’s religious heritage. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Crib; the Franciscans settled in Kobylin in 1456. Historic houses are also among the town’s important cultural landmarks. The town hall on the market square offers a point of reference for the town’s architecture: the town coat of arms is above its entrance. Sacred buildings, historic houses and the town hall offer different ways to explore the town’s cultural history.
