Nowy Dwór

Nowy Dwór is a village in the Łódź Voivodeship, within the Skierniewice County, situated on the Łowicz-Błońska Plain, near the Rawka River. As the main settlement of the Gmina Nowy Kawęczyn, the village spans a large area, with its development characterized by a linear layout featuring single-family homes and multi-story residential buildings, including blocks belonging to the Kwiaciarski Zakład Doświadczalny (Floricultural Experimental Institute). The village has an agricultural character, with basic infrastructure such as a school and shops. The history of Nowy Dwór dates back to the times of the Mazovian dukes; the residence served as a lodging for rulers, and in 1440, the Duke of Rawa died here. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the estate belonged to the Puławski family and later to the Okęcki family, undergoing various phases until its nationalization after World War II. The surrounding area is primarily agricultural, with fields, meadows, and the Rawka River, which is a nature reserve offering opportunities for swimming and fishing. Nowy Dwór boasts a manor complex from the first half of the 20th century, which includes a manor house, farm buildings, and a historic park with a lime tree avenue approximately 200 years old. The manor, built on the site of a burned-down residence, now serves as a rehabilitation clinic. The parish church in nearby Stara Rawa dates back to 1731, reflecting the region's rich cultural heritage. Today, Nowy Dwór blends history with modernity, providing residents with access to various forms of activity.
