2 Best Sights in Lowicz, Excursions from Warsaw

The Muzeum w Łowiczu displays folk crafts and traditions of the area, as well as Polish baroque art. Among the most interesting exhibits are local costumes with characteristic fabrics of colorful stripes, the coffin portraits of local burghers, and several good baroque sculptures.

Łowicz Cathedral mixes Renaissance and baroque styles, but its history goes back to the 12th century. Buried under its floor are famous bishops and laypersons. Worth noting are the rococo altar, beautifully carved 17th-century stalls, and side chapels—especially the chapel of Saint Victoria, Łowicz's patron saint. The latter chapel was designed in the 16th century by Jan Michałowicz of Urzędów, a renowned Polish Renaissance-era artist, who is also buried in the cathedral's crypt.
