Chartów – Church, Memorial Site and Route

Chartów offers several distinct points of interest for planning your trip: a 19th-century half-timbered church, an obelisk at the foot of a hill north of the village, and a regional route that lists Chartów as a stop. These topics range from architectural and religious history to commemorative culture and route planning. Chartów lies on the road towards Ośno Lubuskie. This provides geographical orientation. The church and sports ground are located in Chartów; the hill and obelisk are in the surrounding area to the north.

Half-Timbered Church and Religious Heritage

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord (Przemienienia Pańskiego) in Chartów is dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Lord and dates from the 19th century. Its half-timbered construction consists of a wooden framework with infill panels. This makes it possible to identify the building by its form and period of construction; its religious dedication adds another architectural perspective. The church is also listed in the register of sacred architectural monuments. The register entry and dedication offer two different points of reference for understanding the building. It is currently not in use and has been undergoing renovations for several years; please check access before your visit.

Hill and Memorial Site North of the Village

A 68.9 m-high hill lies 1 km north of Chartów. At its foot, an obelisk commemorates a group of six paratroopers from the Ludowe Wojsko Polskie. The location by the hill combines a sense of the landscape with remembrance of the named group. This nearby point of interest therefore differs from the church in the village: the focus there is on construction and religious dedication, while here it is on a specific military commemoration. If you want to weigh up different local themes when planning your trip, you can consider the architecture and religious heritage alongside the nearby memorial.

Sports History and Regional Route

A historic sporting event is another topic associated with the village: the sixth Agrafka Cup took place in 2009 at the sports ground in Chartów. The year clearly places the tournament in the past. As a sports-related event, it adds another facet to the village’s history alongside its architectural and commemorative sites.

For regional route planning, a 2025 travel report describing a trip from 2023 mentions a 34.7 km route via Słońsk, Ujście Warty, Chartów, Ośno Lubuskie, Sienno and Radów. Chartów is one of the stops on this sequence of places. The report also provides a GPX track for download for the same route. This gives you two different scales to choose from when planning: the points of interest in Chartów and its immediate surroundings on the one hand, and a route covering several places on the other. If you want to consider the route described, you can check its course together with the track provided. The report explicitly dates the trip to 2023; the 34.7 km distance refers to this route.
