DETAILS OF THE TOURIST ATTRACTION
The Town Hall in Częstochowa
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there were two towns – Częstochowa and Nowa Częstochowa, also called Częstochówka, both situated at Jasna Góra. They merged into one urban organism in 1826. The new, fourth most populated city of Congress Poland needed a town hall. It was erected between 1828 and 1836, according to the design of Franciszek Reinstein. After the rebuilding in 1908, it features the Eclectic style. Currently, it houses the Częstochowa Museum.

The Avenue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known
simply as "Aleje" – the Avenues, is the main and
elegant street of Częstochowa. Traditionally the entire
artery is divided into the First, Second and Third
Avenues. Between the two-lane roadways, there is a
promenade, along which numerous pilgrimages head
for the Jasna Góra monastery. Along the avenue we
will see a number of old houses built predominately in
the Classicist style.
The church of Saint James in Częstochowa has an interesting
history. Originally, there was a sixteenth-century chapel of
the same patron, and in its place, a brick church was built in
the following century. During the partitions, on the site of the
demolished chapel, tsarist authorities erected an Orthodox
church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, which was somewhat a
demonstration of power. After being returned to the parish
of Saint James, the building was rebuilt, but has retained the
characteristic features of the neo-Byzantine style.
The Museum of Halina Poświatowska in Częstochowa is
located in the house at 23 Częstochowska Street. She is one
of the greatest Polish poets of the twentieth century. The
main theme of her poems is passing of time and love. The
museum is arranged in the family home, where there are
numerous rare memorabilia such as her typewriter, letters,
photographs and documents. The collection is completed
with important figures in her life, and, of course, the
ubiquitous poems.
Zdzislaw Beksiński is one of the most renowned Polish
artists of the second half of the twentieth century. His art
works can be found in numerous galleries and museums
around the world. One of the few places in Poland where
you can see dozens of the artist's works is Częstochowa,
namely the Museum of Zdzislaw Beksiński in the City Art
Gallery. The works presented here come from the
collection of the artist’s friends - Anna and Piotr
Dmochowski.
