The Norway spruce as a natural monument
A Norway spruce in Radowo Male is protected as a natural monument. Its trunk circumference is 325 cm, measured at a height of 130 cm; the tree is 28 m tall. The measurement height and the tree height describe two different characteristics: the circumference of the trunk at a specified point, and the height of the spruce. Together, these details give the natural monument a distinctive profile. Travellers who enjoy taking a closer look at individual natural features will find a particular reason to include Radowo Male in their plans.
A church with unusual historical details
The Kościół pw. Matki Boskiej Szkaplerznej church was built in 1840. However, much older objects can be seen in its walls beside the portal: Lausatian millstones over 2,500 years old are set into them and were later used as holy-water basins. The construction date and the stones therefore point to different historical periods and functions. The millstones are not merely part of the church; after their original use, they were put to another use.
Another detail can be found on the south side of the church building. Above the south portal, the trace of a sundial lies in a round opening. Together with the inset millstones, it offers a glimpse of different details of the building: the reuse of older objects and the surviving trace of a timekeeping device. For travellers interested in church and architectural history, these specific features offer more reason to explore the site than simply noting the year it was built.
Patelnia and events dedicated to Sydonia
On the shore of a small lake in Radowo Male is a covered recreation area known as Patelnia. Alongside the natural monument and the church, this lakeside spot offers another place with a different character. When comparing your travel interests, you can choose between natural features, historical details and a spot by the lake as distinct points of interest.
Sydonia and her story are also among the topics associated with Radowo Male: annual open-air events are held in her honour. Your choice of destination can therefore also depend on whether you are more interested in historical objects and architecture or in events with a historical theme.
