Dąbroszyn

Dąbroszyn, formerly known as Tamsel, is a village located in the Lubusz Voivodeship, within the Gorzów County, on the historic Lubusz Land. It was established as a settlement in the 12th century and over the centuries belonged to the Templars, the Knights Hospitaller, and various private owners. In the 19th century, it was a popular excursion destination for local townspeople. Dąbroszyn boasts a rich architectural history, with its most important monument being the Church of St. Joseph, originally Evangelical, built at the end of the 17th century. The church was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style, and inside is the von Schöning family mausoleum with sculptures by Andreas Schlüter or his pupils, as well as the richly decorated copper sarcophagus of Marshal Schöning. Another significant architectural feature is the palace from the 17th to 19th centuries, which underwent numerous renovations, acquiring a Neo-Gothic appearance. Despite its modest exterior, many valuable architectural details have been preserved inside. Next to the palace are the remains of the palace park, originally in the Baroque style, transformed into a romantic English park by Peter Lenné. The park features an obelisk in honor of Victoria, created by Christian Rauch, as well as a garden pavilion, known as the Temple of Cecilia, which retains a sculpture of Chronos. Dąbroszyn is also a place of sports activity, with the active Sports Club "Zew," which has been competing in the Gorzów A-class since 1973. The combination of rich history, architecture, and contemporary life makes Dąbroszyn an interesting point on the regional map, with many valuable monuments and places to discover.
