"Niemczówka" Old tenement house in Chęciny

You should start your sightseeing of the administrative district Chęciny in Niemczówka, where the kind staff will propose the best touring route to you.

Since May they are also inviting you to see the Museum Chamber of Pan Wołodyjowski.The idea of creating this chamber appeared before the 50th anniversary of filming the last part of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s “Trilogy”. Many scenes from “Pan Wołodyjowski '' were filmed in Chęciny, next to the ruins of Chęciny Castle, where the crew built a mock-up castle from Kamieniec Podolski. Other created for the production constructs include Raszków town and Chrepti’s fortification.

The most important batalistic scenes were filmed here. Almost three thousand extras played in those scenes, and some of them were the citizens of the administrative district Chęciny. Another important scene filmed here was the death of mister Michał, who was played by Tadeusz Łomnicki. In the autumn of 2019 we organized a collection of memorabilia connected with the production of Pan Wołodyjowski (dir. Jerzy Hoffman). It allowed us to collect most of the exposition - mostly old pictures and photographs. Additionally, the anniversary became an amazing opportunity for the actors that were invited for it, to leave something behind too. Right now their memorabilia are also presented in the exposition.
