Połomia: Architectural History, Cycling Routes and Indoor Swimming Pool

Architectural history in specific locations

The old parish house on Centralna Street is legally protected and entered in the voivodeship heritage register under number 741/66. Construction began on 24 April 1811. These two details give the building a clear historical context: it is a protected structure with a precisely dated start of construction. Anyone interested in Połomia’s history can view it alongside the village’s other historic buildings.

The old school building represents another chapter in the village’s history. It was built in 1878 as the village’s first brick school. On the second floor is a conference room with its original half-timbered masonry preserved. Its early function as a school and its preserved architectural feature make the building interesting for visitors who, during their stay, pay attention to architectural history and not just individual dates.

The brick Chapel of St John stands on Szkolna Street. It dates from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, adding another historic building to the parish house and school, which date from later periods. The cemetery by the historic parish house also contains a group of sculptures: a Cross of the Passion of Christ from 1853, a statue of a saint from 1876, and statues of the Madonna and Child from 1878. The individual dates distinguish the works and show that they were created at different times.

An old small-leaved lime and natural monument

A small-leaved lime, botanically known as Tilia cordata, more than 100 years old grows in the cemetery in Połomia. Its trunk circumference is 680 centimetres, and it is registered as a natural monument. Alongside the historic buildings, this brings a single tree with clearly specified features into focus. Anyone who likes to include cultural and natural attractions in their holiday plans will find two different points of interest here, without them being presented as a combined sightseeing route.

Indoor swimming pool for swimming and classes

The indoor swimming pool in Połomia has a small pool for children and a full-size pool. There are also two saunas. The facilities also include aqua aerobics and swimming lessons, and the pool is open seven days a week. Swimming, classes and a sauna visit can therefore be considered as different options during a stay in the village. The small children’s pool is a specific feature for families; the two pools are clearly distinguished by size and purpose. Anyone who prefers to be active in the water can also consider the swimming and aqua aerobics classes on offer.

Cycling routes through Połomia

The black cycling route runs from Mszana through Połomia to Gogołowa and is 18.5 kilometres long. It is suitable for all types of bicycles. You can leave your car in the car park by the OSP in Połomia for this route. This information helps you consider the route and a possible starting point when planning your day, without assuming a particular travel time or level of difficulty.

The red cycling route also passes through Połomia in the Mszana municipality and is 24 kilometres long. The two routes are different lengths, making it easy to compare them. If cycling is important to your holiday, you can consider Połomia as one of the villages along the black or red route and take their lengths into account when planning your day.

Połomia as a holiday destination

When choosing a holiday apartment in Połomia, you can decide which of these interests matter for your stay: historic buildings, the indoor swimming pool with its different pools and classes, or a cycling route through the village.
