What makes the park by the school distinctive?

The park by the school is an irregularly laid-out landscape park covering more than 9 hectares. It was created at the beginning of the 19th century. There are artificial ponds in its western section.

The park is also historically connected with the manor grounds: the school building in the complex stands on the former manor estate with its park. If you are interested in historic sites, you can therefore consider both the park’s development and the surviving buildings of the manor complex as part of your exploration of Dobryszyce.

What historical and cultural traces can you find?

The school building in the manor-and-park complex was designed by Łódź architect J. Kaban and built between 1924 and 1927. The complex also includes a granary built in the 1930s. It is one of the manor buildings that have survived by the school.

The church Kościół pw. św. Bartłomieja Apostoła in Dobryszyce houses a Gothic sculpture of Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child from the mid-15th century. It offers a concrete connection to the town’s art history. Together with the information about the manor complex, it gives culture enthusiasts the chance to explore different aspects of the area: a religious work of art and the history of the buildings by the school.

What do the town layout and cemetery reveal about its history?

Dobryszyce’s historic layout dates back to the Middle Ages; the earliest mentions of the town are from the 14th century. Dobryszyce is considered the oldest part of the original Radomsko stronghold. These historical connections give the town a longer history than the construction of the manor-and-park complex.

Another historic site is the former Roman Catholic cemetery, established at the end of the 18th century. The layout of its avenues is still clearly visible. The former cemetery can therefore be described in terms of both its historic design and the still-discernible structure of its avenues.
