Historic buildings

The history of the Brudzew Commune dates back to the beginning of the 4th century, as the traces of contemporary settlements can still be found in the form of the Gothic parish church dedicated to St. Nicholas from the 14th century, rebuilt and extended c. 1730.

There are other historic buildings on the commune’s grounds, such as:

• the branch church dedicated to the Holy Spirit – erected c. 1860 as the hospital church, built in baroque style
• the palace and park complex – the palace built in eclectic style in the mid-19th century, situated in the central part of a vast landscape park, located on the southern side of the road from Władysławów to Brudzew.

Landscape and tourist attractions

The educational tourist walking and cycling routes “Bogdałów” run through the grounds of the Brudzew commune and through the Turek county, leading through the most interesting natural and landscape areas, connecting at the same time these areas with those transformed by the mining industry of the Adamów Brown Coal Mine. The diversity of terrain types, if only for the existence of the mine, makes the area an interesting tourist attraction for users of the routes not only from outside of the commune. The Warta Valley is another attractive place, from Uniejów to Nowe Miasto on Warta, which has been included in the Nature 2000 area and constitutes bird sanctuary of European significance.

• the Plein-Air Workshop of Sculpture and Folk Handicraft, Brudzew (July – August)
