Wooden Memorial in the Forest

Highlight • Monument

As we read on the information board, the shrine was erected in 2004 on the initiative of the residents of Karczew, and the wooden figure was consecrated on November 17, 2004. For over twenty years, the sculpture has welcomed walkers, cyclists, and all forest lovers, becoming a place for reflection, silent prayer, and contemplation.
This representation holds a special place in Polish tradition. Chrystus Frasobliwy (the Sorrowful Christ) was one of the most frequently repeated motifs in roadside shrines. It is in such simple, forest and field corners that one can most strongly see how spirituality, folk art, and landscape have intertwined over the centuries into a single story.
The author of the sculpture is Stefan Lisowski (1928–2010) – an artist and sculptor, also associated with Mazovia. According to the board, he was the initiator of the "Roadside Shrine" series of works and wanted to restore the motif of the wooden shrine to the Mazovian landscape. The Karczew figure is one such work – made from a single piece of wood.

Anti-Tank Barriers of the Warsaw Fortifications

Highlight • Monument

Dąbrowiecka Góra – a resistance point forming part of the Warsaw Bridgehead fortifications, built in 1940 by the Germans. It is located in the area of Karczew in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Otwock County.
In the years 1940–41, German troops began rebuilding the fortifications of the Warsaw Bridgehead (German: Brückenkopf Warschau) dating back to 1915. The new concept of German planners involved extending the right flank of the defense as far as Dąbrowiecka Góra near Dąbrówka.
The Dąbrowiecka Góra resistance point included:
an artillery observation bunker of the Regelbau 120a type,
a Regelbau 514 type combat bunker.
Currently, both bunkers have been leased by the Association for Fortification Monuments „Pro Fortalicium”, and work is underway to restore their former appearance.
