There are several interests to consider when planning a trip to Nowe: the architectural history of St. Florian Parish Church and its wooden bell tower, an observance in honour of Saint Roch, and a cycling connection from a 2026 tour edition. In the wider regional area, two historic complexes in Krośniewice are also worth noting. These distinctions can help you tailor your stay to your own interests.

Parish Church and Bell Tower

St. Florian Parish Church in Nowe was built in 1775, funded by Andrzej Kiciński, Voivode of Rawa. The wooden bell tower beside the parish church also dates from 1775. The year of construction, the benefactor and the dedication are part of the church’s history; the neighbouring tower complements it as a separate structure.

Its construction can be identified by several specific features: the tower has a post-frame structure, is clad in boards and stands on a stone base. The wooden structure, board cladding and stone base are distinct features. Those interested in historic building styles can identify the tower by these characteristics rather than looking only at its year of construction.

Altars and the Tradition of Saint Roch

The church interior also brings together different dates. Three historic altars date from the 18th century and include paintings by Antoni Murzynkowski from 1880. The side altars feature images of Saint Florian, Saint Anthony, Saint Roch and Saint Valentine. The furnishings thus include the church’s patron as well as other named saints.

Saint Roch connects the church’s artwork with an event in the parish: the indulgence in his honour takes place on 16 August and is moved to a Sunday.

Cycling Connection in 2026

Another connection is the cycling tour along General Władysław Anders Route: the approximately 50-kilometre loop in the 2026 edition passed through Nowe. This makes the cycling connection part of a specific tour edition, while the church and bell tower are identified by their year of construction.

Historic Complexes in the Wider Regional Area

In the wider regional area around Nowe, Krośniewice is home to the Neoclassical complex of a former manor inn, which houses the Jerzy Dunin-Borkowski Museum. The building brings together its former use as an inn and its current function as a museum.

The Rembieliński family’s palace and park complex is also located in Krośniewice. The palace was built around 1870, and the 17-hectare park is laid out in the English style. This ensemble differs from the former inn with its museum use: here, the palace and park together define the historic complex. Both sites are in the wider regional area, not in Nowe itself.

When looking for a hotel in Nowe, this geographical context can help you decide what to focus on during your trip: the parish church and parish life in town, or also the historic sites in Krośniewice.
