Charzyno: Parish Church, Cycling Route and Al-Pako Farm

Parish Church and Architectural Heritage

The Parish Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Charzyno is a Neo-Gothic building typical of the 19th century. It is surrounded by an openwork wall made of rubble stone and brick. Neo-Gothic architecture draws on Gothic forms; as a building typical of the 19th century, the church can also be placed in both a stylistic and historical context. The wall adds a detail of its own to the church: its openwork design also makes the enclosure part of the architectural picture. For travelers who want to include architectural heritage as well as activities in their plans, the parish church offers a specific point of interest whose style and materials can be considered together.

Cycling on the Stary Kolejowy Szlak

The northern section of the Stary Kolejowy Szlak cycling route passes through Charzyno; from Charzyno to the road between Kołobrzeg and Trzebiatów is 10.8 km. The entire cycling route is 57 km long and runs through the municipalities of Gościno, Karlino, Kołobrzeg, Rymań and Siemyśl. The two distances refer to different scales: 10.8 km is the section from Charzyno to the road mentioned above, while 57 km is the full route. The cycling route as a whole runs along embankments of a former narrow-gauge railway and is paved; there are rest areas with benches, tables and shelters along the way. A narrow-gauge railway is a railway with a narrower track gauge than a standard-gauge railway. The term places the embankments in their historical context: they belong to the former railway line, which the cycling route now follows.
