Enjoy the conference and:
the XVth century collegiate church with famous coffered, florally ornamented ceiling;
the longest cobblestone market in Europe;
Regional Archaeological Museum – with small pieces of the famous Pultusk meteorite (bigger pieces exhibited in London and Warsaw museums);
the Pultusk Castle – presently the Polonia House Hotel and conference centre, previously the abode of the bishops; inhabited by Napoleon;
one of the oldest Polish High School named after Piotr Skarga – famous Jesuits’ preacher;
canoeing and gondola excursions on the river Narew
the White Wilderness with becoming extinct species of plants and animals extending from Pultusk to Ostrow Mazowiecka.
We hope to see you in Pułtusk this summer!
We look forward to hearing form you
