Chrzanów is a town that with medieval origins and an exceptional historical and natural heritage. Historic19th- and early 20th-century townhouses on the Market Square with its well-preserved medieval layout.

The Chrzanów Museum is  a former manor house dating to the end of the 16th century and a small-town manor house with a beautiful garden.  With its Gothic presbytery and Baroque Chapel of St  Stanislaus, the Church of St Nicholas is a gem among Chrzanów’s many monuments.


In Chrzanów’s Kościelec, it is worth seeing the 14th-century Gothic Church of St John the Baptist with its beautiful furnishings, and in the village of Płaza, the historical Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross, the Starzeński Palace with natural monuments in the manor park (legend has it that treasure is hidden inside one of them), and the quarry with the only whole and complete Hoffman’s lime kiln in Poland (one of the few left standing in Europe).  Chrzanów’s unique cemeteries and mausoleumstell the story of the harmonious 400-year coexistence of the Christian and Jewish communities.
