Which cultural sites are part of the wider Płoński destination?
The architectural history of the wider Płoński destination can be seen in its varied periods and styles of construction. The 19th-century manor complex in Bogusławice is in the Gmina Płońsk. The Mariawite chapel in Lisewo is a brick building from the early 20th century. In Sochocin, the parish church of St John the Baptist was built between 1908 and 1918 in the Neo-Gothic style. Other churches in Płońsk County are in Kroczewo and Krajkowo; they date from the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively. Another church in Sochocin dates from the 14th century.
Religious art and regional craft traditions also contribute to the cultural landscape. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary in Smardzewo was built between 1930 and 1938. It houses an image of the Madonna and Child from around the mid-17th century, a copy of the miraculous image of Bochnia. In Sochocin, the historic ethnographic exhibition “Z bogactw natury. Sochocińskie guziki” focuses on making buttons from sea and river shells.
Landscapes and older settlement patterns are also part of the region’s character. In Kuchary Żydowskie, a linden avenue about 300 metres long, dating from the second half of the 19th century, borders a former manor estate. Gutarzewo is home to the landscape park of an 18th-century former manor. The Wkra, Raciążnica and Łydynia rivers flow through the Sochocin municipality; Gromadzyn has the municipality’s largest cluster of wooden houses, some of which still have thatched roofs. These features complement the buildings with a view of manor landscapes, rivers and traditional houses in the Płoński destination.
