Wall of Remembrance

The hall on the upper floor of the manor holds 29 urns of soil from battlefields and cemeteries of Polish soldiers in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The soil was brought from Breda by Franciscus and Mattheus Dietvorst, and the museum received the urns on 8 May 2008.

On the same day the Wall of Remembrance was unveiled, with a map on which eagle emblems mark the places where Polish soldiers fought during World War II. A portrait of General Stanisław Maczek completes the composition.

A few months later, on 12 November 2008, the collection grew by three small bags of soil donated by the Polish Society for the Care of Military Graves in Lviv. One of them holds soil from grave 1294 at the Cemetery of the Defenders of Lviv, where ten-year-old Janek Kukawski, killed defending Lviv in November 1918, is buried. The same hall displays the banner of the Riflemen's Association from 1927. The urns belong to the Exhibition of the History of the Town and Region, whose sections also cover both world wars, the Katyn massacre and the pacification of Leżajsk in 1943.
