Mysliborz: Old Town, Pilgrimage Sites and Ceramics

Possible themes for a trip to Mysliborz include its medieval townscape, religious sites and ceramics workshop. When looking for a hotel for your trip, you could first consider whether you are particularly interested in the Old Town, the sanctuary, an event or an active tour. These themes give your stay different points of focus.

Old Town and Historic Buildings

The Old Town of Mysliborz has preserved its medieval street plan and is approximately circular in shape. Fragments of a 14th-century fortification wall, built of brick and stone, surround the Old Town area. The Brama Nowogródzka survives as a two-storey brick gate tower in this line of fortifications. The Baszta Prochowa adds a different architectural accent: the cylindrical tower is made of brick and stone and topped with battlements.

The town hall and parish church also represent different periods of construction. The late Baroque town hall was built in 1771. The Gothic parish church dates back to the second half of the 13th century and was extended in the 15th and 16th centuries; it is located beside the market square. On the southern edge of the Old Town, right next to the former town wall, is the former Dominican monastery complex. Together, these buildings and wall fragments reveal different traces of the town’s history, from its medieval street plan to its 18th-century town hall.

Religious Sites, Ceramics and Events

The Myśliborskie Sanktuarium Miłosierdzia Bożego is located in Mysliborz and is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. The motherhouse of the Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus of Mercy is also located in the town. For a different kind of cultural activity, the Myśliborska Pracownia Ceramiczna offers classes for children, young people and adults. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants learn the basics of ceramic art.

Recurring events include the Dni Myśliborza, a regular outdoor festival for residents of the town and surrounding area, as well as tourists. If you want to plan your trip around this festival, check the current event dates before making arrangements. This lets you consider a cultural event and visits to historic sites as different themes for your trip, without combining them into a fixed itinerary.

Cycling Route and Kayaking Trips

A branch of the Trasa Pojezierzy Zachodnich passes through Mysliborz. The Przystań żeglarska makes it possible to organize kayaking trips on Jezioro Myśliborskie and the Myśla River. If you would like to make one of these activities a focus of your trip, you can take it into account when choosing your travel dates and hotel.

Regional Orientation within the Wider Destination of Soldin

Within the wider destination of Soldin, Mysliborz lies in the center of the Pojezierze Myśliborskie and near the S3 expressway. Jezioro Myśliborskie is suitable for relaxation and water sports. This regional context complements the picture of Mysliborz’s Old Town, religious sites and activities.

For cycle tourists, a 60-kilometer stage called Mysliborz–Barlinek–Choszczno is also relevant. It has been fully completed and runs mostly along paved cycle paths built on a former railway line. This stage should be distinguished from the Trasa Pojezierzy Zachodnich: the stage is specified by its length, completion and path surface, while the route’s branch through Mysliborz is noted for the Trasa. This allows you to assess the regional cycling stage and the route through the town based on their different descriptions.
