The Bell Tower
Where can we find traces of Polish history in Wilanów?
One of such places is the Third Millennium Bell Tower next to the St. Anne's Church in Wilanów. Despite being built in the years 2000-2001, it houses two bells from 1723 and 1777. These bells were preserved during the partitions thanks to the local community, and now their peaceful sound accompanies visitors to the St. Anne's church. The bell tower is also equipped with an electronic clock mechanism.
Does Wilanów have a place that combines local culture with gastronomy and history, where one can relax in a friendly atmosphere?
Yes, such a place is the Millennium Bell Tower. Since 2010, on weekends, a temporary exhibition of paintings by Wilanów residents has been held, with the artworks being replaced every few months. In the café run by volunteers from the parish of St. Anne, you can enjoy a delicious coffee and have a tasty cookie with friends. How pleasant it is to spend time surrounded by art and friendly company!
Who from the parish of St. Anne in Wilanów was honored with the Officer's Cross of the Order of Rebirth of Poland?
The person who had the honor of receiving the Officer's Cross of the Order of Rebirth of Poland is Monsignor Bogusław Bijak. He was the initiator and executor of the construction of the Bell Tower. The building was erected in the place where the original bell tower from the 17th century stood.
