Tips from the Community
The historic field church in Ciechocinek, dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, is located on the grounds of the Military Health Resort Hospital, but has a separate entrance from the street and is usually open for visits. The temple was built in 1894 by Caucasian highlanders in the Trans-Ural style, it is the only example of such construction in Europe. The building served as a church until the 1920s. After regaining independence, the church was closed, and a casino with a common room was opened in the building, then it was converted into a school, and finally a warehouse. Restored and returned to its function as an Orthodox church in 1996.

You say "Ciechocinek," and you think "graduation towers." What's more, it's a unique monument in Europe. Ciechocinek boasts three graduation towers, arranged in a horseshoe shape. The city of Ciechocinek, along with the regional government, has launched an effort to have the graduation towers added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

19th century building in the Art Nouveau style. The only building of this type in Poland, one of three in Europe. It fell into disrepair during the Polish People's Republic. It owes its rescue to, among others, Jerzy Waldorf, the initiator of the fundraising campaign for the restoration of the theatre. Entered into the register of monuments (1984), it currently serves its original functions. Initially, a sculpture of Hansel and Gretel stood in front of the theatre, which was probably moved to the Spa Park in 1927. Currently, there is a sculpture of Jerzy Waldorf with his faithful dachshund, Puzon. (via the official website of the city of Ciechocinek)

A graduation tower (occasionally referred to as a thorn house[1]) is a structure used in the production of salt which removes water from a saline solution by evaporation, increasing its concentration of mineral salts. The tower consists of a wooden wall-like frame stuffed with bundles of brushwood (typically blackthorn) which have to be changed about every 5 to 10 years as they become encrusted with mineral deposits over time.[2] The salt water runs down the tower and partly evaporates; at the same time some minerals from the solution are left behind on the brushwood twigs. A large complex of graduation towers is located in Ciechocinek, Poland.[2] This entirely wooden construction was erected in the 19th century by Stanisław Staszic. The complex consists of three graduation towers with a total length of over 2 km. Many tourists visit it for health reasons.
