Zakrzów at a glance
Zakrzów preserves its original oval village layout, a relic of early medieval settlement. Count Larisch had the palace built between 1898 and 1902; the palace park was created during the same period. The town is also home to St. Nicholas Parish Church, built in 1831, and a chapel built around 1805. The Lewada Zakrzów equestrian club is currently based in the palace.
Which historic features define Zakrzów?
The oval village layout points to a settlement pattern whose origins date back to the early Middle Ages. This means Zakrzów can be explored through more than individual buildings: the village’s historic layout is also part of its character. For travelers interested in local history, this offers a distinct perspective alongside exploring the palace and religious buildings.
The buildings’ construction dates offer different points of reference. The chapel was built around 1805, St. Nicholas Parish Church was built in 1831, and the palace followed between 1898 and 1902. The chapel is therefore the oldest of the three buildings mentioned; the palace was built considerably later than the church and chapel.
What is notable about the palace and palace park?
The palace was built by Count Larisch. Today, the Lewada Zakrzów equestrian club is based there. This current use is as much a part of the palace’s present-day character as its construction between 1898 and 1902. The “Lewada Art Cup” equestrian championships have been held on the palace grounds, among other events.
The palace park was created during the same period as the palace. Its distinctive features include tree species that are rare locally: Swiss stone pines, cypresses, thuja, and juniper. Anyone interested in parks and different tree species will find this a distinct aspect of the town alongside the history of its buildings. In Zakrzów, the palace and park represent two different but historically connected subjects: architectural history and designed nature.
