Shed, Dębno Castle

Citing their forefathers, the locals claim that the name of the village of Dębno originates from a solitary tree, a supposedly thousand-year-old oak, that stood near the castle until the start of the 20th century. On the castle’s southern side, in the landscape park is a 1775 statue of St. John of Nepomuk sculpted from white Pińczów sandstone. Nearby, in a bend of the Niedźwiedź River, is a statue of St. Kinga that was erected in 1725. On the opposite hill is St. Margaret’s Church, funded by Jakub Odrowąż and consecrated in 1504. Near the main entrance to the parish cemetery in Dębno, on a high pedestal, stands an 18th-century statue of the Pensive Christ funded by Anna Tarłowa, the Crown Cook. In its immediate vicinity is the sepulchral chapel funded by Maria Jastrzębska, née Dembińska, in 1906 – the mausoleum of the Jastrzębski family, the then owners of the Dębno castle. It is almost certain that the chapel was designed by Jan Sas-Zubrzycki, one of the most prominent Polish architects of the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. In the cemetery, you can see interesting grave statues from the late 19th century and plots for soldiers killed during the First World War.
