Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą: Culture and Kayaking

• The Nowomiejskie Museum covers archaeology, ethnography, history, art and numismatics.
• Its oldest exhibits include stone tools, medieval clay vessels and prints from the 17th century.
• A small museum on the grounds of the Capuchin order is dedicated to Blessed Honorat Koźmiński; his sanctuary is located in the Capuchin Church of St. Casimir.
• Several kayaking routes on the Pilica begin or end in the town. A Baroque brick palace from the second half of the 18th century is listed in the register of monuments.

The collection brings together five fields: archaeology, ethnography, history, art and numismatics. Its subject matter therefore ranges from material evidence of earlier times to art and the study of coins. Visitors interested in different approaches to local and cultural history will find several topics under one museum roof.

The oldest items mentioned give a clearer sense of the span of time: they include stone tools from the Neolithic and Bronze Age, medieval clay vessels and prints from the 17th century. These exhibits differ in their materials and periods. You can therefore plan your museum visit around whether you are more interested in early tools, ceramics or historical prints.

Blessed Honorat Koźmiński is associated with two sites in Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą. The sanctuary is located in the Capuchin Church of St. Casimir. A small museum dedicated to him is on the grounds of the Capuchin order. The two sites serve different functions: the sanctuary is in the Capuchin Church of St. Casimir, while the small Honorat Museum is on the grounds of the Capuchin order.

The Pieta Gostomska is also part of the town’s religious heritage. The Gothic wooden sculpture dates from around the 14th century and was given to the church by residents of Gostomia. Its approximate date, wooden craftsmanship and the account of its donation offer different points of interest for those interested in sacred art and history.

The Baroque brick palace from the second half of the 18th century adds another historic building to the museum and church sites. It is listed in the register of monuments. The selection thus brings together different forms of cultural heritage: collection pieces, a wooden sculpture, a sanctuary and a palace. If you plan your trip around cultural interests, you can decide which topics to prioritize, whether museum collections, sacred art or historic architecture.
