A church with medieval masonry and historic furnishings

St. Andrew Bobola Church was built in the 15th century as a single-nave stone building. Some of its medieval walls have been preserved. The building therefore combines a clear, simple layout with a tangible historical connection: the church is part of the townscape not only through its name, but also because it preserves masonry from its medieval origins.

Inside, the furnishings include an altar with Renaissance-Baroque features and a pulpit dating from 1661. The pulpit provides a specific historical reference point for a visit, while the altar’s Renaissance-Baroque features take centre stage. Those interested in church art and historic architectural styles will find two distinct details to look out for while exploring Golczewo.

Bathing beach on Lake Szczucze

The Szczucze bathing beach is on Ogrodowa Street in Golczewo, on the shore of Lake Szczucze. The facilities include a landscaped beach and a pier. The water is therefore a distinct attraction alongside the town’s historic buildings. When planning your day, you can decide whether to spend time at the bathing beach or focus on Golczewo’s cultural attractions.

Nature and forestry on the educational trail

An educational trail runs through the Golczewo forest district in the municipality, within the LAS GOLCZEWSKI nature and landscape complex. The trail is intended to introduce visitors to the area’s natural assets and the work of forestry professionals. Its subject therefore combines nature with insights into the work of forestry. If you would like to add this kind of perspective to your stay, you can include the trail in your travel plans as a dedicated nature and educational activity.

Castle tower and castle hill

The castle tower in Golczewo is a remnant of the castle of the Bishops of Kamień. The castle hill has been landscaped and renovated and developed into an appealing tourist destination. Two aspects thus come together at this historic site: the tower as a remnant of the former castle and the landscaped castle hill. Compared with the church, the tower offers a different historical focus: rather than sacred furnishings, it is the bishops’ castle that takes centre stage.
