The romanesque architecture route in Kuyavia
Apart from the Greater Poland, Cuiavia is probably the second region most strongly associated in historical and artistic terms with the beginnings of the Polish state. It is here, on a relatively small area, where the most outstanding works of Romanesque architecture in Poland are located. The Cuiavian Romanesque route leads from Mogilno through Strzelno, Kruszwica, to Inowrocław.
Our knowledge of construction and art of the times of the first Piasts and the feudal fragmentation of Poland would be much poorer if not for the discovery of the famous columns and tympanums in Strzelno, heads from the walls of the church in Inowrocław, or classical architecture of the collegiate church in Kruszwica. It is another reason for which these monuments deserve special attention and protection.
