About Czerniaków
Where to stay in Czerniaków
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Czerniaków Lake and the Warsaw Uprising Mound sit at opposite ends of what this neighbourhood puts in front of a visitor, one a body of open water and the other an artificial hill raised as a memorial. The housing is high-rise. Rooms here fall in the eastern half of Mokotów, close to the St. Anthony of Padua Church and within the same walk as the lake.
About Czerniaków
What are the main landmarks in Czerniaków?
The St. Anthony of Padua Church dates to 1693 and is the oldest thing standing in Czerniaków, which otherwise reads as a neighbourhood of apartment blocks. Two landmarks follow it. The Warsaw Uprising Mound is an artificial hill raised as a memorial, and Czerniaków Lake is the largest still body of fresh water anywhere in Warsaw.
Nothing else is entered on the neighbourhood's own record.
What is the history of Czerniaków?
Czerniaków's oldest date is 1693. That year attaches to the St. Anthony of Padua Church, which still stands in the neighbourhood and gives Lower Mokotów a fixed point older than any of the apartment blocks around it. The Warsaw Uprising Mound carries no date on the record, an artificial hill raised as a memorial.
Beyond those two, the file for Czerniaków keeps no charter, no earlier name and no dated event of its own.
Where is Czerniaków?
