Nowodwory, in the past Nowy Dwór Manor

In the past it was an old village and manor located along the banks of the Vistula, between Marysin Folwark (Manor) and Tarchomin village. It was created and had developed along the original old Warsaw route to Jabłonny. Rev, Franciszek Czajkowski when describing the area in a book published in 1785, wrote ‘Nowy Dwór, manor belonging to Mr. Ossoliński, governor of Podlaskie Province, half a quarter mile to the summer’s west, located by the Vistula sandbank’.

Until 1951 Nowodwory was a village near Warsaw. In those periods Warsaw’s borders were expanding and the village was getting ever closer to Warsaw. In those days Nowodwory was in the then outer Warsaw district, the Jabłonna commune. In the interwar years, the village was of an average size and included a public primary school.

The project ‘Protecting the habitats of priority bird species of the Vistula Valley under conditions of intensive pressure of the Warsaw agglomeration’ (wislawarszawska.pl) has received a grant from the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE+) and from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
