Gościcino: Find hotels for your stay

Local history between villa and factory

Gościcino combines a brick villa with industrial history and cultural uses. If you are looking for a hotel in Gościcino, these themes offer concrete starting points for your stay: architecture, factory history, and the cultural offerings at the Dworek Drzewiarza.

The Dworek Drzewiarza was built in 1905 as an eleven-room villa for a brickworks owner. The building is made of red brick and has a tiled roof. At ul. Drzewiarza 2, a brickworks owner's villa is listed as a monument; the old trees at the same address are designated as a natural monument. This means a protected building and designated old trees are located at the same address.

The complex of the furniture and chair factory at ul. Fabryczna 1 is listed as a monument and is now called the Klose Furniture Factory. The complex includes a water tower dating from the 19th or 20th century. The workers' settlement is also part of the town's industrial history: it was built in Gościcino in 1909. The 1905 villa and the settlement are only four years apart; a broader period is given for the water tower.

Cultural offerings and practical planning

The Dworek Drzewiarza is used as the library and cultural center of the Gmina Wejherowo. BCK Gminy Wejherowo offers a comfortable room for rent at the Dworek Drzewiarza. It is suitable for meetings, training sessions, workshops, lectures, conferences, educational activities, cultural events, and private celebrations. The range extends from work and educational activities to social occasions. If you plan to travel for such an event, check the room's availability in advance.

The completed Gościcino integration hub project included the designation of bicycle routes. If cycling is part of your plans, check the current signage on site.

Cultural sites in the wider destination of Neustadt

The wider destination of Neustadt includes other cultural sites in Wejherowo. The Muzeum Piśmiennictwa i Muzyki Kaszubsko-Pomorskiej was founded in 1968 and is a treasure trove of regional artifacts as well as a center of Kashubian culture, particularly the Kashubian language. The Książnica prof. Gerarda Labudy features a permanent exhibition on the history of the Kashubians. Models of the town and the Kalwaria Wejherowska are on display in Wejherowo's historic town hall.

The Kalwaria Wejherowska was the fourth Calvary complex to be established during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After Bishop Mikołaj Albert Gniewosz of Aleksandrów approved its construction on June 9, 1649, work began on its chapels. Another way to get to know Wejherowo is the Szlak Nut Kaszubskich: fifteen pedestals bearing fragments of a traditional counting rhyme form a route through different parts of the town, passing important sights. Individual installations may change.
