Wojnowko – Art, Landscape and Architectural History

At ArtFolwark, landscape and art come together: it is located by a lake, surrounded by fields and forest, and houses a permanent spatial installation. The palace and chapel offer a historical perspective, while a restored park adds to the features of the area mentioned here. You can weigh these individual highlights separately when planning your trip.

Art and landscape at ArtFolwark

ArtFolwark Wojnowo is located by a lake, surrounded by fields and forest. These landscape features can be viewed from its panoramic terrace. This gives you two perspectives to consider when planning your trip: the setting of the location and the view from the terrace mentioned here.

The permanent spatial installation “Pénétrable BBL Bleu” at ArtFolwark dates from 1999 and is a work by Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto. The term “spatial installation” draws attention to the relationship between the work and the space. In this way, the art connection adds a specific work, artist and year of creation to the setting amid the landscape.

Another art-related feature is Stara Stajnia at ArtFolwark. It was converted from an old stable into an art space for gatherings and creative activities. This distinguishes it from Soto’s installation: Stara Stajnia focuses on the conversion of a building and the purpose of the space, while “Pénétrable BBL Bleu” is a single permanent work. ArtFolwark therefore has two distinct artistic points of interest: a specific work of art and a converted art space.

Park and architectural history

Wojnowo also has a restored park. It adds a park as a distinct landscape feature to your trip planning. At ArtFolwark, by contrast, the focus is on the lakeside location, fields, forest and the view from the terrace, allowing you to distinguish between the two landscape features mentioned here.

The palace in Wojnowo dates from the mid-19th century. An older route description calls it Villa “Mon Repos 1836.” The year is part of the name as it has been passed down; it should be distinguished from the stated construction period. An older route description dates the Chapel of St. John the Baptist to 1914. One route description passes the chapel along the road from Wojnowo in the direction of Długa Goślina. The date places the building in its historical period, while the route description locates it along the road described. Check the current route separately when planning your journey. In chronological terms, the chapel’s date of 1914 is later than the palace, which dates from the mid-19th century. The two buildings thus offer different historical points of reference for planning your trip.
