Free things to do in Tychy include the palace and park complex with the Brewery Park, the concrete Bricklayer statue and a modernist municipal cemetery.
The three places are free to see and differ in character: a park for a walk, a sculpture from the years when the town was built and an active cemetery that calls for respect.
The palace and park complex at Katowicka 2 is a Baroque hunting manor of the Princes of Pszczyna from 1685, extended in the 18th century and entered in the register of monuments in 1983. It comes with the 19th-century Brewery Park, a good place for a quiet stroll.
Murarka is a concrete sculpture of a woman in work clothes holding a model house in one hand and a trowel in the other, by Stanisław Marcinów. It stands in Estate A on Andersa street, next to St Anne's Square. The Wartogłowiec Municipal Cemetery is an active cemetery, regarded as the first and largest municipal one in the town. It is known for a modernist fence of concrete shells from 1961 that won an architects' award. When visiting, remember that it is a burial place, not a viewpoint.
