Nadia 1 Lutomiersk - a former town, now a village in Poland, located in the Łódzkie Province2, in the County, in the Lutomiersk Commune, on the Ner. The Lutomiersk Commune is located in the central part of the Łódź Province and is a part of the Pabianice County. It is situated in the picturesque valley of the Ner River, near Konstantynów Łódzki, the Poddębicki district. It is adjacent to the communes of: Aleksandrów Łódzki, Dalików, Konstantynów Łódzki, Pabianice, Poddębice, Wodzierady and Dzial. Mianów - a village in Poland located in the Łódzkie Province, in the Pabianice County, in the Lutomiersk Commune. In the years 1975–98, the town administratively belonged to the Province. The first written mention of the village comes from 1176, when Kazimierz the Righteous was to hand over the Mianów and several other villages to the Cistercians from Sulejów under the Środa law. In 1309 Władysław Łokietek renewed the privilege on the Średzkie law for towns belonging to the Cistercians. In 1399, the village passed into the hands of lessees. Since 2006, the MKS Mianów football club has been operating in the village. Scenes for the movie Ida were filmed in the village. Oliwia 2 It was 2013, early afternoon, the doorbell. Mom went down to the gate, and there was a young woman3 standing there. It turned out to be an assistant of Paweł Pawlikowski, a recently famous Polish director. The assistant came with the information that soon they would be shooting a film in our village. At that time, I lived in Mianow, a small village in the Lutomiersk commune. Rarely something interesting and exciting happened here. And here suddenly, a full-length film recording! I was very excited and curious. After a week, a film crew actually came to our village. A coach and a tow truck arrived, and on it an old white car from the 60's, 19th century -Wartburg. The production team clad our concrete fence with wooden boards to resemble an old fence. From the window of my house, I saw the actors playing the lead roles. Agata Kulesza, Dawid Ogrodnik and Agata Trzebuchowska playing the main character (Ida) were there. Together with my mother, we saw scenes filmed at the bus stop and at the store near my house. In my neighbor's yard, a coach was parked with the crew and a camper van where the actors ate their meals.Our village of Mianow turned into a film set for a few days, and theinhabitants were willing to help. Even my dad helped to cover our fence with old rails. Back then, no one thought that the film "Ida" would become popular all over the world and win the biggest film award –OSKAR. I am proud that our inconspicuous village has become part of a great film production. And the director liked our neighborhood so much that he decided to shoot part of his film here. Here are some photos I was able to take from my house window.: 3

This huge boulder is an example of an inanimate nature monument. It is one of the largest erratic boulders in central Poland. The circumference of the huge granite boulder is 1060 cm. It was transferred to this area about 400 thousand years ago by the Scandinavian ice sheet. It is the second largest erratic boulder in the Łódź Province. It is hidden among the trees. That is why an information board with a map and information about him was erected. To get to it you have to walk across the meadow and enter the forest. It is covered with moss. The only four birches in the vicinity grow on its four sides. There is a sign with the word there "Natural Monument". There are many legends about him. For example, there is a legend that witches kept the Sabbath there or during World War II, the Germans suspected that there was some treasure hidden and you can see traces of the attempts they made getting to him. There is also something like "geocaching" - this is a field game for users of GPS receivers, consisting in searching for the so-called hiding places previously hidden by other participants of the game. The caches, usually hidden in interesting places, contain a log of visits, into which subsequent finders enter, as well as small gifts for exchange. In Orzechowo there is also something like that between this boulder. Few people know about it, little tried, but some also found the hiding place and left something for next generations.

Natalia A complex of three crosses is dedicated to t8he victims of cholera from 1832 year. Next to the crossroad to Sieradz and Pabianice ,there are three crosses , which were supposed to protect Lutomiersk. People treat crucifix as a defensive shield guarding them from evil. A complex of crosses of Lutomiersk was set by inhibitans as a thanksgiving gift to make cholera stop. These three crucifixes - ,,Karawaka’’ (center) , and two others little shorter (traditional Latin). The designation ,,Karawaka” is from Spanish City Carrovaca. From where in XVIIII the custom spread to put crosses of Saint Benedict , which should protect city from plagues. Each there is a figure of Jesus crucified , covered with a tin copy. You can ask, Why three crosses? What does it mean?? Most likely people thought that if they tripled them, it will give them bigger protection, and will give them bigger meaning.

Filip 11 In Poland, in Pabianice district there were two towns: Kazimierz and Lutomiersk. From long time ago they fought against themselves. They were quibbling for example charging for Ner crossing. There is known an old tale when Lutomiersk wanted to hire gallows from Kazimierz. Mayor of Kazimierz said that gallows are only for their sons. There is a legend connected to the town name. A long time ago, in the place where now is Kazimierz, was a big forest. Once upon a time king Kazimierz The Great was hunting these areas. He lost his team and the way. He spent a lot of time for looking for way back. When he was tired, he sat down under big oak tree. Next morning, he was found by tripping Gypsies. They showed him the way to Lutomiersk. The king wanted to repay and gave them this land. A village grew up there shortly after that and they called it in memory of the King Kazimierz the Great. People made the big oak tree as crest of Kazimierz. This is the legend, but the true is different. Name of this town is the same as its founder – Kazimierz Kondradowicz. He was Konrad Mazowiecki son – prince of Łowicz and Sieradz.

Nicola Lutomiersk is one of the oldest tow1ns 3in the former Sieradz Province. It is located on the left side of Neru. Archaeological research has confirmed that the continuity of settlement of the village dates back to ancient times. The oldest settlement comes from the 4th Bronze Age and was inhabited by the people of the Lusatian culture, the next one comes from the 2nd- 4th century, i.e. the Roman period. Lutomiersk was granted city rights on April 24, 1274 by Leszek Czarny. Leszek Czarny was then the prince of Sieradz. At the same time, it is the first document confirming the existence of the village from 1615. In 1292, Władysław the the Elbow- high joined the town of Wrząca, and in 1311 he gave it to Wacław of Lisowice. One of the parts of the city had to join the royal property soon anyway, because in 1406 Władysław Jagiełło gave a part of Lutomiersk to knight Przedbor and his son Jan of Chełmica. With time, our town lost its municipal rights in 1870. The monastery in Lutomiersk is now the seat of the Salesian Music School. It was donated by the voivode, Andrzej Grudziński. The monastery was rebuilt from a knight's castle in the 15th century. In the years 1651-1659 it was changed by Anna Grudzińska and her son, Marcin Grudziński, then a barracks temple was built in 1659. After the January Uprising, the monastery was annulled by the imperial authorities because insurgents were hidden in its cellars. After the death of the last reformate in 1900, the monastery was put up for auction. The Lutomiersk commune bought the bui1ldin3gs and handed them over to the Kujawsko-Kalisz diocese. In 1914, the buildings burned down during the First World War. The monastery was dedicated to the Salesians and they began rebuilding. From 1929 to 1991, it was an orphanage and an educational institution. In the 1950s and 1960s, the monastery was rebuilt into a retreat house and a center for young priests. Since 1996, the Salesian Music School has been established, which is still today. At the time of construction, the monastery was built in a barrack style. The building is made of brick. Inside you can see a chest of drawers from the 18th century. On July 1, 1929, a tram section was launched from Konstantynów Łódzki to the intersecting roads in Lutomiersk, Kazimierz and Aleksandrów Łódzki. In order to take the line to the market square, it was necessary to start building a bridge over the river Ner. In 1932, the missing 8 km section was commissioned in the fall. The entire railway line was owned by the Lodz Narrow-Gauge Electric Commuter Railways. In 2012, MPK-Łódź (Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne Łódź), together with the Old Trams Lovers Club in Łódź, decided to organize "Tramway Line" "43" as a tourist attraction from July to the end of September.
