Things to do in Myślibórz: the Gothic collegiate church, a Dominican convent, a museum in a chapel and lakes Myśliborskie and Sitno Wielkie. Nine places.
Myślibórz is a small lakeside town with several Gothic brick churches. Its monuments stand close together in the centre, and water is within walking distance, so a day splits easily into a historic part and a leisure part.
First the main square with its town hall and the collegiate church, then the museum housed in a Gothic chapel. Walked in this order, the visit covers the story of a town that was the capital of the New March in the Middle Ages.
The town hall at Rynek im. Jana Pawła II 1 is a classicist building from 1771-1772, still the seat of the mayor and town office, so it is seen from outside. The Collegiate Church of St John the Baptist at ul. Kolegiacka 3 is a Gothic parish church from the early 15th century with granite parts dating from the later 1200s, a Baroque high altar from 1697 and an organ by Buchholz. The Myślibórz Lakeland Museum has been in the Holy Spirit chapel from the 14th century since 1979, at Bohaterów Warszawy 74, with displays on town history and a contemporary art gallery. The background is told in an article on Myślibórz as capital of the New March.
Myślibórz has five religious sites of different character: a collegiate church, a convent, a shrine and two small chapels. It is a good set for lovers of brick and Gothic.
The Dominican Convent was the only convent of the order in the New March. From the quadrangle of buildings a Gothic church from the 13th century and one wing survive, and today they house a cultural centre and library. The Shrine of Divine Mercy at Bohaterów Warszawy 78 is a neo-Gothic brick church from 1905-1907, a shrine since 1993 with relics of St Faustina Kowalska. The two small chapels are the Jerusalem Chapel of 1514, probably the last station of an old way of the cross outside the walls, and St Gertrude Chapel at Lipowa 4B built in the later 1400s, now an art studio. All are on the page churches and monasteries in Myślibórz, and a wider list of buildings is on architecture in Myślibórz.
Two lakes offer water, both free. The first lies within the town and has bathing spots, the second is quieter and closed to combustion engines.
Lake Myśliborskie, about 600 ha, is the largest water body of the Myślibórz Lakeland. It has two bathing areas and sometimes hosts sailing regattas. Sitno Wielkie covers 186 ha and has a shoreline of almost 10 km with a walking trail. Combustion engines are banned on it. Fires and rebuilding in nearby towns are covered in an article on fires that changed towns.
Yes. The main square, the collegiate church and the museum in the morning, the lake in the afternoon. All points are close to each other.
The Myślibórz Lakeland Museum, the churches and the convent with its cultural centre. Leave the lakes for fine weather.
Two lakes, Myśliborskie and Sitno Wielkie, both tagged as free and scenic.
According to its description the town hall is not a museum, because it serves as an administrative building. It is seen from outside.
