Dąbrowice (Dabrowice)

At the moment I have only done a preliminary survey of this village as the 2 visits I have made have been at the beginning and end of 2 walking trips.

Dabrowice is quite well known in the region as it has the remains of a Firlej family castle which has been bought by the Roman Catholic church as a kind of centre for religious studies. Parts of the original castle remain, incorporated into a later building. Dabrowice lies in the valley of the Czechowka river, a small river in an area of rolling farmland through which it is very pleasant to walk. for industry there is a small brickworks of a type dotted all over the region. You would hardly know it were there except for the chimney.

The remains of the old Firlej castle from the 17th century, overpowering the 20th century building it is currently attached to like a cuckoo chick in a sparrows nest. rawings from the 19th century show two towers like this, but almost all signs of the other has disappeared.
