Tyczyn

The first one is the church of the Holy Trinity and St. Catherine of Alexandria. Inside you can admire valuable polychrome decorations, lush furnishings, the high altar with paintings of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Catherine, as well as the ambo with a canopy dating from 1760.

The other notable sight here, the palace of the Wodzicki family is an eclectic-style building from the mid-1800s, located within a large park with numerous old trees, including 40 specimens recognized as monuments of nature (half of these are small-leaved and large-leaved limes). Today the palace is home to a School Complex. Other landmarks within the park include an old granary, manorial stable and barn, alcohol distillery and living quarters once inhabited by farm workers.

You should also visit the Community Regional Museum which presents exhibits linked with the history of the town and the nearby areas.
