Tourists interested in the most interesting monuments of the Podbeskidzie region will see them in one place - on the grounds of the Żywiec park and castle. Almost 30 beautiful buildings will appearhere in miniature. Its essential part are mock-ups and miniatures. Later this year, along the linden avenue of Habsburg Park, 24 miniatures of interesting architectural buildings from the time of the Komorovskis, Greater Poland and Habsburgs will be erected. The proposed list of miniatures includes historic buildings located in the districts of Suski, Wadowice, Bielsko, Cieszyn, and Zywiec. The Zywiec district has decided to arrange a park of miniatures, which will include the region's most beautiful buildings associated with the Komorowski, Wielopolski and Habsburg families, i.e. the aristocrats whose seat was once Zywiec. These will include palaces, mansions, forester's lodges, a steel mill and a brewery. We will see, among others, the palace complex in Rajcza, since 1912 the property of Karol Ludwik Habsburg, and the Renaissance castle in Sucha Beskidzka, called Little Wawel, first the property of the Komorowski family and later the Wielopolski family. A total of 1:15 or 1:33 scale miniatures will appear in the renovated halls of the New Castle in Zywiec, including the Habsburg hunting palace in Cieszyn, built in 1838-40 according to a design by prominent Viennese architect Jozef Kornhäusl, the wooden hunting villa of Archduke Friedrich Habsburg, built in 1840. on Przysłop below Barania Góra, and the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Sucha Beskidzka, built in 1612-14 from the foundation of Piotr Komorowski. There will also be a manor complex in Bażanowice, which was part of the estates of the Habsburgs' Komora Cieszyńska, a palace in Bestwin built by Karol Ludwik Habsburg in 1824-26, a 19th-century "Belvedere" in Radziechy-Wieprz, and a forester's lodge in Złatna - built for the Habsburgs as a Swiss villa. Four miniatures made of brass will appear outdoors in the park. These are the castle in Lanckorona, property of the Wielopolski family, the Habsburg Brewery in Zywiec, the steel mill in Węgierska Górka, built by Count Wielopolski, and the classicist mansion in Bielsko-Biała, built in 1820 by the Habsburgs. The miniatures will introduce tourists to the history of the families that ruled the region over the centuries and encourage them to visit the originals. At each will be a plaque telling the history of the individual object. Everything is being created as part of the historical theme park "From the Komorovskis to the Habsburgs." It's a project that also includes the renovation of the New Castle. They will be casts 70 to 100 cm high, made of bronze, styrodur, PVC and wooden elements. Each miniature will be placed on a pedestal made of sandstone and concrete and illuminated. The miniatures will be supplemented with educational plaques.
