Attractions of Konin

The biggest attraction in the city is a Romanesque road pillar from 1151, which once marked half of the road between Kalisz and Kruszwica. Right next door is the St. Bartholomew's parish church from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, with stunning and colorful interiors, historic chapels and tombstones. Also noteworthy are a synagogue and a market square with historic townhouses. While in Konin, it is also worth seeing the Gothic church of St. Andrew the Apostle from the early 15th century located in Gosławice, the current district of the city. There you can admire, among other things, a valuable collection of 26 coat-of-arms shields or an octagonal stone baptismal font from the early 16th century.

For recreation, it is worth taking a stroll along the Warta River Boulevard or to Frederic Chopin Park, established in the 19th century, where, in addition to walking paths, a mini zoo, an open-air gym and numerous attractions for children await visitors. In the summer, however, it is especially worthwhile to take a break at the beautiful Lake Goslawskie.
