Worth seeing
- If we're going to Mickiewiczowskiego Śmiełowa from the side Jarocin and Żerków, it is worth stopping and entering the marked viewpoint. On a clear day, even the Warta River can be seen on the horizon line Pyzdry.
Closer, slightly to the left, you can see the characteristic shape of the palace in Śmiełów.
- The closest, in the foreground, among the fields, is a beautiful, lonely classicist church, called st. John the Baptist which is the most interesting, though not the only noteworthy object in the village. It was erected on a hill leveled for this purpose. The temple was built in 1840, so he could not admire it Adam Mickiewicz, because the bard had stayed here 9 years earlier. The inn standing on the road from Śmiełów to Brzostków served him as a prototype of the inn from "Pan Tadeusz". It is difficult to verify this because it was pulled down in 1972.
- The palace in Śmiełów was supposed to be his starting point, so that he could cross the nearby border of the Prussian partition and join the November Uprising.
- Classicist manor house built before 1781. The building has a rectangular plan, one-story, with a basement. With a high mansard roof with dormers. In both elevations there are two-storey apparent projections topped with triangular pediments. The manor house has been carefully restored by a private owner. Around a landscape park (with an area of approx. 5 ha) with a pond and monumental trees, incl. 400-year-old oak.
- In Brzostków there is also a remnant of a farm with an unusual, neo-Gothic granary built around 1830 in the form of a defensive structure with windows imitating arrowslits, and octagonal corner towers topped with battlement (architecturally one of the most interesting buildings of this type in the country), also former forge and czworak from the 19th / 20th century. Today they are in private hands and you can watch them from behind the fence.
If we decide to take a walk towards the church, a slight uphill climb awaits us. There is an inscription above the entrance: To the immortal, mortal. A similar (instead of lethal - it is lethal) is found on the church 90 km away Blacksmiths of the Lord. Both churches are connected by the person of the founder, the great crown attendant, Antoni Czarnecki.

The harmonious, classicist façade is contrasted with the irregular, rather chaotic arrangement of the palace interiors, e.g. an octagonal living room with an avant-corps into a garden façade, with no direct connection to the staircase. In the basement, under the lounge, there is an octagonal vaulted room with lunettes, which served as a meeting room Masonic Lodge.
