Czerniejewo
Spend a half‑day walking the palace park, main street and John the Baptist Church; stay only if you need a night in the palace hotel.
Czerniejewo is a small town in Greater Poland centred on a 18th‑century palace and its park, with a short historic main street linking the palace to a Gothic church. All sights are within a 10‑minute walk, so a few hours suffice; the only accommodation is the palace hotel, making an overnight stay optional.
