Tyczyn

• The market square retains its historic town layout and several townhouses dating from the 18th century.
• The castle complex is in the central part of the town, west of the market square.

The historic town layout has been preserved around the market square. Several townhouses there date from the 18th century, making the square an interesting focal point for anyone interested in the town’s architectural history. One townhouse on the square also preserves a Jewish sukkah (kuczka) from the early 20th century, with original polychrome paintings. The square thus brings together different aspects of history: the town’s traditional layout, townhouses from a specific century, and a preserved interior with colorful paintings.

The parish church in Tyczyn is a three-aisled basilica in the late Baroque style. The chancel walls are Gothic. Jan Pilecki had the brick church built in 1466.

The Church of the Holy Trinity and Saint Catherine of Alexandria preserves valuable polychrome wall paintings. If you’re interested in church art, you can include this highlight alongside the architectural features of the parish church in your selection. Wodzicki Palace and the Wodzicki family tomb chapel offer different points of interest: the palace is an eclectic residence built by the family in the mid-19th century. The Neo-Gothic tomb chapel was built from 1877 to 1883 at the instigation of Count Ludwik Wodzicki.

The Społeczne Muzeum Regionalne displays exhibits on the history of the town and its surroundings. Its focus therefore includes both Tyczyn and the surrounding area.
