Radzyń Podlaski

• The Potocki Palace and park complex took its final form between 1750 and 1759.
• North of the palace is an axially and symmetrically designed garden, with a pond-canal at the end of the main axis. The landscaped garden covers about 8 hectares.
• The “Bulwar nad Białką” cycling route is 3,290 metres long, paved and illuminated.
• The Church of the Holy Trinity lies along the “Szlak Renesansu Lubelskiego” tourist route.

The palace and park complex is adorned with a rich array of sculptures. The palace sculptures include works by Jan Chryzostom Redler. The complex took its final form between 1750 and 1759; this date refers to its development. The palace and park can therefore be considered related themes for a stay: the architecture and sculptural decoration offer a cultural focus, while the garden north of the palace forms a distinct part of the complex.

The garden is laid out axially and symmetrically. A pond-canal lies at the end of its main axis. On a walk, visitors who pay attention to the spatial arrangement of a garden can take in the direction and endpoint of this axis. The landscaped garden covers about 8 hectares; this is an approximate figure describing the extent of the garden, not a specific walking distance.

There is also a practical detail to bear in mind when visiting the palace: the palace interiors and the temporary exhibitions held there can be visited only on a guided tour. Admission to Potocki Palace and visits to the exhibitions presented there are free. So if you want to see the interiors or a temporary exhibition, a guided tour is part of the visit format.

The “Bulwar nad Białką” offers a different perspective on a stay than the palace and garden. The cycling route is 3,290 metres long and paved with paving stones. Its lighting is another feature of the route. There are car parks at both ends, and there are also toilet cabins along the cycling route. These features can make it easier to find your way around the route.

If you are mainly interested in exploring cultural sites, you can consider Potocki Palace and the Church of the Holy Trinity as distinct points of interest. The church lies along the “Szlak Renesansu Lubelskiego” route. The Chapel of the Guardian Angels in Radzyń Podlaski was built in the 17th century. For a trip that includes physical activity as well as culture, the cycling route is a separate option. This lets you weigh your interests rather than focusing your stay on a single attraction.

The Tourist and Cultural Information Point in Radzyń Podlaski offers publications, souvenirs, audio guides and information materials in several languages.

No opening hours are specified, so do not plan your visit to the information point based on a time stated here.

When looking for accommodation, you can start by asking which of these themes is most important for your trip: the palace and park complex, cultural sites or the cycling route.
