A sword from late Middle Ages from Wąwolnica City Museum.
In Wąwolnica City Museum there is a sword from late Middle Ages that has never been seen publicly. The museum that holds this exhibit has quite unusual location as it is located in the thumb of the church’s chapel. The museum was founded by a priest named father Jan Pędziora — then pastor at the St. Adalbert Church in Wąwolnica and by the Society of Friends of Wąwolnica in 1995. Among its exhibits there are interesting artifacts connected to the history of the region from the Paleolithic era to modern times.
The sword from the exhibition was available to us thanks to mrs Wiesława Dybała, the curator of the museum and also father Jerzy Ważny. According to mrs Jadwiga Teodorowicz-Czerpińska, the person who gifted the sword to the museum, it was found during field work in and undisclosed location near Nałęczów.
