Which historical sites set these places apart?
The synagogue and Jewish cemetery each offer their own points of interest. The synagogue is the largest surviving one in Lesser Poland, making it particularly interesting to travelers interested in Jewish architectural and cultural history. The cemetery offers a different kind of historical evidence: it was established around the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. About 200 gravestones have survived there to this day.
The castle’s history can be traced to a specific year: in 1697, the Lubomirski owners began an extensive renovation and expansion of the castle in Dąbrowa Tarnowska. The present-day use of substantial surviving parts of the castle park is a separate matter: they serve as a recreational area for residents.
