The Villa Alexandrine is a unique piece of Belle Époque architecture, which today houses the local tourist office and the museum dedicated to the Polish writer, Witold Gombrowicz.
The villa dates back to 1911 and is one of the jewels of Belle Époque architecture.
The Villa Alexandrine is named after Alexandrine Magdaleine Audibert, the daughter of a prosperous carpenter who was born and raised in the town.
