Objazda

Palace: brick construction and distinctive corner tower

The palace in Objazda is a Neo-Renaissance brick building. Ernest Kutscher had it built between 1895 and 1897. The building is constructed of brick on a stone foundation and is listed in both the register of monuments and the monuments list. Its construction date, materials and monument listing offer different starting points for exploring the palace’s history.

One striking detail of the building’s layout is the corner tower integrated into the structure at its northern corner. It has three storeys and a hipped roof with clipped corners. The tower is thus described not as a separate building, but as part of the palace. Those interested in architecture can take note of this distinction, as well as the contrast between the brick construction and the stone foundation.

A park with a pond and numerous trees and shrubs once extended around the palace. This description relates to the history of the building’s surroundings and should be distinguished from information about its construction. Your travel plans can therefore include both the palace itself and its architectural features, as well as the historic parkland as separate subjects.

Church dating from 1606 and its furnishings

The church in Objazda dates from 1606 and is dedicated to Our Lady of Częstochowa (Matka Boża Częstochowska). Its construction includes a timber frame with brick infill, as well as brick masonry walls. These features identify different construction methods used in the church: a timber-frame structure with brick infill and brick masonry. Along with its early construction date, the church provides a distinct architectural point of interest alongside the Neo-Renaissance palace.

The upper part is also described in detail: the church is crowned by an octagonal wooden lantern with an onion-shaped roof and a weather vane. The year 1606 is inscribed on the weather vane. Historic furnishings also include a 19th-century organ case and a wooden gallery. A monument to the heroes of the First World War stands in front of the church. The building’s form, furnishings and monument are different aspects that you can consider separately if you are interested in local history.

Cycling on the Szlak Kolejowy

The blue-marked Rowerowy “Szlak Kolejowy” cycling route is 20 kilometres long and passes through Bałamątek, Objazda, Gardna Wielka, Siecie and Smołdzino. The stated total distance and sequence of places provide concrete guidance for anyone wishing to include cycling in their trip. The route can therefore be considered a separate focus alongside the historic buildings, without presenting the two subjects as a single combined route.

Nearby, the also blue-marked “Kolejowym” cycling route turns left at a junction towards Objazda and then continues along the Szlak Zwiniętych Torów to Ustka. This identifies two differently described cycling routes: the Szlak Kolejowy passes through the places listed above and has a stated length of 20 kilometres; the route via the Szlak Zwiniętych Torów is described as heading towards Objazda and continuing on to Ustka.

Tailor your stay to your interests

Objazda is named as one of the villages in the Ustka municipality where agritourism is offered. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can first decide what you would like to focus on during your stay: will the cycling route be part of your travel plans, or are you mainly interested in the palace, the church and their historical details? These different interests can help you decide which aspects of your stay in Objazda should take priority.
