Discover Skarszewy
Accommodation in Skarszewy
Skarszewy offers several distinct perspectives for planning a trip: historic buildings, hiking trails with different endpoints, and the landscape around the town. These themes range from specific places to the municipality as a whole. Depending on whether you want to focus on cultural history, a hike, or relaxation by the water, you will find different ways to shape your stay.
Cultural sites and architectural history
The Joanniter Castle houses the municipal cultural centre and the Public Library. The Centrum Ekspozycji Historycznych is located on the third floor of the library at ul. Szkolna 9. As location details may change, check the location information before planning a visit.
The building known as “Dom pod Gutenberg,” dating from the second half of the 19th century, stands in the market square. Skarszewy Town Hall dates from the 18th century and survived the town fires of 1709 and 1712. When comparing these two historic landmarks, the Dom offers a specific point of reference thanks to its location in the market square; the Town Hall adds its construction date and its connection to two town fires.
The parish church of St Michael the Archangel was built in several phases in the second half of the 14th century and preserves Baroque furnishings. This brings together different historical layers in a single building: its construction in several phases and furnishings from the Baroque period. The building’s history and its preserved furnishings offer two perspectives on the same structure. Taken together, the dates of the buildings mentioned range from the church, through the Town Hall, to the Dom pod Gutenberg, spanning the 14th to the 19th century.
Hiking trails and landscape
Two hiking trails offer different starting points and destinations for trip planning. The green Skarszewski Hiking Trail leads from Sopot Kamienny Potok to Skarszewy. The red Kociewskie Lakes Trail begins in Skarszewy and ends in Szpęgawsko. This makes Skarszewy the endpoint of the green trail and the starting point of the red one. If you are planning a hike, you can distinguish between the two routes by their direction and the places named for each.
The meandering Wietcisa shapes the landscape around the 800-year-old town and is the largest tributary of the Wierzyca. This gives Skarszewy a distinctive connection to the landscape alongside its historic buildings. In the Gmina Skarszewy, Lake BorĂłwno Wielkie is one of the lakes that offer opportunities for recreation and leisure by the water. For trip planning, the difference in scale is useful: the Wietcisa shapes the landscape around the town, while BorĂłwno Wielkie is part of the Gmina Skarszewy.
You can include recreation at Lake BorĂłwno Wielkie in your plans at the municipal level.
