Attractions and Places To See around Pyrzyce - Top 20

The first historical mention of the village dates back to 1314. At that time, it was a fief of the von Bersterbek family. In the 16th century, it was owned by the von Flemming family. In the 19th century, Kłodzino was acquired by the Wendelers, and in 1892 by the Schultzes. A representative of the latter family built the manor house that stands today. Until 1945, the estate changed hands twice more: first to Herbert Schroeder, and later to Herman Witte. After the war, the farm was managed by State Agricultural Farms, which led to the neglect of the manor house and park. The single-story manor house with a usable attic was built on a rectangular plan. An entrance porch protruded from the front of the building. The gabled roof with pediments featured vertical dormer windows illuminating the attic. The manor house is unused and is therefore falling into increasing disrepair. Nearby are the farm buildings and the remains of the park. The entire complex is accessible, but for safety reasons it is best to limit yourself to exploring the buildings from the outside.

In the 15th century, an ambulatory was built around the chancel with a tower on the east side, and two side naves were extended to the sides of the west tower. The church was destroyed by fire twice and then rebuilt. In the 19th century, it was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. During World War II, the church was seriously damaged.

The defensive walls of Pyrzyce were built in four stages, from the location of the town in 1263 - to the second half of the 19th century. 16th century Stage I - until 1301: the main ring of walls was built, along with lookouts and gates. Stage II - half 14th century: in place of two gates, the lower floors of two gates were built, and three lookouts were rebuilt into defensive towers. Stage III - 15th century: construction of three towers, reconstruction of gates and superstructure of walls. Stage IV - mid 16th century: expansion of the defense system, related to the popularization of artillery. Bastions, bastions, fortifications were built, and gates and towers were added.

The moats were irrigated after opening locks from four artificially created ponds, fed with water from Sicina (a tributary of the Płonia River. Until 1574, there were no invasions by Brandenburg, Polish and Hussite troops did not breach the Pyrzyce walls. After 1750, some of the embankments were planted, and in the years 1830-45 they were turned into a promenade. The moats were filled in around 1860, and gardens were established in their place. At the end of the 18th century, the foregate of the Banska Gate was demolished, and after 1854, the foregate of the Szczecin Gate.
