We invite you to join a walk around the area of the former private town of Mariensztat.
Walking at the foot of the Vistula Escarpment, we will look for traces of the past — both the more distant and the more recent. Sometimes they will be amusing, sometimes tragic, sometimes a bit frivolous. In the photos we will see what Mariensztat looked like from the mid-19th century until the outbreak of World War II.
