Rogowo: Oaks, Manor Park and Village History

When looking for a hotel in Rogowo, you can distinguish local natural and historical features in Rogowo from the town history, museum and walking route in Stargard. Rogowo’s local points of interest include a protected oak, a small park and traces of the former manor farm; Stargard adds town history, a museum and a walking route. This distinction can help you organise these topics according to the focus of your travel plans.

Oaks and parks in Rogowo

The pedunculate oak “JAN,” protected as a natural monument, is a distinctive local landmark: its trunk circumference is 685 cm at breast height. An ordinance dated 16 October 2020 records its protection and measurement.

There is also a small park in the northern part of Rogowo. The 19th-century manor park is next to the manor house and contains copper beeches, pedunculate oaks and elms. A group of old oaks stands near the former manor farm, including one with a circumference of 620 cm. If you plan your trip around trees and green spaces, you will find several points of interest here: a named individual natural tree, the historic park and a group of oaks.

Manor house, manor farm and remembrance

A dilapidated manor house from the late 19th century stands in the northern part of Rogowo. A barn and a cowshed from the same period remain from a former manor farm in Rogowo. Together, these buildings offer concrete clues to the village’s older architectural history; the manor house and former farm buildings are distinct features.

A large memorial stone in the manor park commemorates Rogowo’s residents who fell in the First World War. A rest area was set up beside the memorial stone. A forestry administration report dated 14 July 2020 described the rest area as newly established. The condition of its facilities may change. If the rest area is important to your plans, check its condition before visiting.

Culture and routes in the wider Stargard destination

Stargard’s Church of St. Mary and medieval town walls were recognised as a Monument of History by an ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland dated 17 September 2010. The town walls are among the few examples of medieval fortifications in Western Pomerania that have survived almost along their entire length, with defensive gates and bastions. A museum exhibition in Stargard covers the town’s history from its founding in the 13th century to the beginning of the 18th century.

The routes and events described also belong to Stargard, not to Rogowo’s local features. The “Stargard – Jewel of Pomerania” walking route passes through the Old Town and is about 3 kilometres long. The “In the Land of the Griffin” Historical Festival is described as an event for whole families, history enthusiasts and people who want to spend an active weekend in June.

The red cycling route “Through the Drumlins of the Stargard Region” runs from Stargard via Lipnik, Zieleniewo, Morzyczyn, Grzędzice, Żarowo, Rogowo and Lubowo, and back to Stargard. The walking route gives an approximate length for the Old Town; the cycling route is described as passing through several named places. This lets you choose between a walk through Stargard and a cycling route that also passes through Rogowo when planning your trip.
