Czerwińsk nad Wisłą

 

 The main tourist attraction in Czerwińsk is the XII century monastery. 

The church looks rather typical inside. If you want to see something special, you should just take a walk around he buiding.
It was a really cold and windy day, when I decided to check this place, but I'm really glad I didn't let myself get scared of the low temperature :)

See the Way of the Cross - I love the style!

 The whole area around is located on a hill. For those who would like to become a part of some monastery community, this would be a perfect place. It's calm, and full of nature. The trees, and stone decorations make it look somehow magical...
I haven't seen much people around even though the place is rather well-known.

Czerwińsk's history is not only connected to the religion. The whole town (which is now a village, because it was officially changed in the XIX century) is even more awesome - if you like the distinctive style of old, rotten places... Sounds interesting?
If you'll walk outside the church's area, you'll see something, tha may become a ghost-town soon. Some of the houses were built in the XIX century (you'll find the information boards there), but a huge part of the buildings is unoccupied. Just like this one:

There are  also well-preserved houses of course.

There aren't many people on the streets. They even look a bit surprised sometimes, when they see a tourist.
I had a feeling, that the village is ruled by domestic animals. I've seen lots of them. Some were behavng like people :)
A dog and a cat were sitting together on their house's stairs until I walked by. That must have reminded the dog whom he was, because he jumped off the stairs, and started following me and barking loudly. Then another dog joined him.
There was also this black guy, watching the street through the window calmly, like some people do.

To sum up - this place is unique. It's hard to find a village/town this calm normally. It's also full of history. It feels like you're walking through a crowd of old spirits, that are still watching over this place, and living in the locals minds somehow.
