Tips

It is the entrance gate to Zwierzyniec located in the Zwierzyniec Forest, belonging to the Tenczyn Castle - the last of the four - which has survived so far. It is located on the edge of the forest between the Eliza villa and the Tenczynek forester's lodge of the Krzeszowice Forest District, in Rzeczki - the easternmost part of Tenczynek, by the district road 2121K to the Niedźwiedzia Góra quarry and the former Krystyna Mine. It has a decorative character (currently without gate wings), on both sides of the road there are high brick towers (pillars) with falcons and greyhounds. The gate consists of six brick pillars. The two middle ones surrounded the main gate, they were crowned with sculptures depicting deer, while in their upper part they were decorated with animal heads. Above the main gate there was an openwork frame cast in cast iron, crowned with the coat of arms of the Potocki family from nearby Krzeszowice - its owners. There were smaller side gates between the symmetrical pairs of lower pillars. On the other hand, the side pillars connected with the main ones were topped with greyhound figures facing towards the deer figures.
In 2011–2012, the gate was renovated.
