This is now the Cathedral.
This beautiful neogothic church was built at the beginning of XX century by project of Jozef Pius Dziekonski.
This church is very beautiful inside. There are too great stained glass windows.
I think that the history of St. Fara Church is very interesting. In 19th century Poland was annexed by Prussia, Russia and Austria. Bialystok belonged to Russians. Polish people couldn`t build anything without Russians` permission... In 1899, after 39 year waiting period, city dwellers received a permit to build a little annexe to an old church in Bialystok...Later it turned out that this tiny annexe is many times as big as the main church. It is a "solid comment" on persecution that took place in Poland in 19th century...
The "red" church this is annexe, the "white".... this is the main church.
Now the church is the Cathedrale. Leave a Comment Address: Rynek KosciuszkiDirections: city centrum

In the 16th century there was a Gothic count of the Great Crown Marshall - Piotr Wesolowski. Next it was a residence of family Branicki. The court acquired a Renaissance character (1602-1697). In mid-18th century Jan Klemens Branicki rebuilt it again. And this is at this time the Baroque palace called "Versailles of Podlasie".
Look at the haeven on this pic. The clouds are great, aren`t it?
Warning!! There are in the park a lot of pigeons - so be careful if you don`t want to have a "medaille" ;) Leave a Comment Directions: In centrum

The Palace was destroyed in II World War. 1945-1962 one rebuilt it. Inside there are beautiful staircase with sculptures of Atlas. Not long ago was reconstructed the ball hall.
There are not many work of art, becouse the palace was rob of all during conquestes and war. Leave a Comment Address: city centrum

The Equerry`s Home called too the Pavillon des Invites was built in 1771. This was the guest-house of family Branicki.
Now there is the seat of Registrar`s Office and a Society "Wspolnota Polska" (Polish Community).
Behind this building there is a little park and little river called Bialka. Leave a Comment Address: Kilinski StreetDirections: not far of Branickis Palace

the Atlas statue on the Branickis Palace courtyard.
Today in Branickis Palace there is the seat of Medical Academy. It is really a pity, that there isn`t a museum or interesting collection... But the palace building and the park around I like very much. Leave a Comment Directions: city centrum

This is the main gate to the Branickis Palace. There is too a old clocke on the tower of this gate. This was the gate to the palce`s court. On this court in spring and summer is a cafe garten - so you can drink here a beer or a juice near of the palace.
On the next side of the street there is located the Hotel "Golebiewski". Leave a Comment Directions: in city centrum

A lovely palace in the heart of the city of Bialystok,has a nice cosy bar in the back entrance and a quality yet quiet resturant called the arsenal.
The gardens look great snow covered and i would like to see them in the summer in full bloom. Leave a Comment Directions: central Bialystok
