Discover Felinów

The Felinów manor estate was established in the first half of the 19th century and initially belonged to the Łempicki family. Felinów became a village around 1902 through a land division carried out by the manor’s owners at the time, the Gierlicz family. The MOP Felinów Zachód rest area is on the S19 at kilometre 62+900 in the direction of Rzeszów; MOP Felinów Wschód is in the Felinów cadastral area.

The Felinów manor estate was established in the first half of the 19th century. The Łempicki family were among its first owners. The village emerged later: Felinów was established around 1902 through a land division. This makes it possible to distinguish two different milestones in the history of the place—the founding of the manor estate and the later development of Felinów as a village.

The land division was carried out by the manor’s owners at the time, the Gierlicz family. A land division means dividing land into individual plots; in Felinów, it was the process through which the village came into being. The Łempicki and Gierlicz families thus represent different periods: the manor’s first owners and its owners at the time the village was established. If you are interested in how the place developed, you can use this chronological distinction as a guide.

A GDDKiA tender notice dated 11 February 2025 locates the MOP Felinów Zachód rest area on the S19 at kilometre 62+900 in the direction of Rzeszów. MOP Felinów Wschód is in the Felinów cadastral area in the municipality of Modliborzyce. The two location descriptions use different reference points: for Zachód, the road, kilometre and direction are specified; for Wschód, the Felinów cadastral area is given. When planning your trip, pay attention to the names Zachód and Wschód to distinguish between the two locations.

The municipality’s history extends beyond Felinów. The parish church of Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, was built in the municipality of Modliborzyce between 1644 and 1664. A synagogue was built there around 1760 and restored between 1957 and 1965. The church’s construction and the synagogue’s later restoration point to different periods in the municipality’s cultural history.

The market square in the centre of Modliborzyce offers another architectural point of interest: old brick buildings and wooden houses from approximately the 20th century have been preserved there. In Kolonia Zamek, there is a manor estate complex surrounded by a park. Alongside these architectural and historical themes, the springs along the Sanna River are considered a characteristic natural feature of the municipality. Thus, architecture and landscape sit side by side at the municipal level, while the founding of the manor estate and the emergence of the village form the historical focus of Felinów.

If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide on your location and theme: do you want to focus on Felinów and its manor estate and village history, or would you also like to consider the cultural heritage and natural features of the municipality of Modliborzyce? When choosing a specific place to stay, check its listed location to make sure it matches your focus on the village or the municipality.
