Tips from the Community
In this village founded on November 18, 1349 by the Bishop of Warmia, there are around 330 inhabitants. The place is surprising, because it also houses the sanctuary of Our Lady of Peace. Before the construction of the imposing church, there was only a modest chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The title of minor basilica was awarded to the church by Pope John Paul II on May 19, 1987.

This imposing castle once belonged to the Teutonic Order. Over the centuries and through successive successions, it became the property of the princes, and later the bishops of Varnia. For about seven years, the castle served as the residence of the famous astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. The residence was then owned by his uncle Lukáš Vatzenrode. Between 1858 and 1932, the palace was used as an orphanage and a hospital. World War II brought its own changes, transforming the castle into a prison for Soviet soldiers. Part of the immense palace is occupied by a 4-star hotel. The other part is a museum. The residence also has a spa. Here, you can combine business with pleasure. Enjoy your visit and have a wonderful stay!

Stoczek Klasztorny, also called Stoczek Warmiński, is an old Warmian village founded in the 14th century. In this small town there is an interesting round church (St. Mary's pilgrimage site), built in 1641 by the Warmia bishop Mikołaj Szyszkowski as a votive offering of gratitude for the victory in a war against Sweden. The church is surrounded by walls and monastery buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The monastery was inhabited by Franciscan friars, who looked after it until the beginning of the 19th century. It is currently a monastery of the Marian Order. The interior of the church is richly decorated, in the main altar there is an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, covered with a silver dress with an amber necklace, a gift from Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszyński. The wrought iron pulpit from 1738 is remarkable. The expanded organ front from the end of the 18th century makes a great impression. There is a memorial room in the monastery buildings dedicated to Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. This was set up in the rooms where the cardinal was held prisoner in Stoczek Klasztorny for a year from October 13, 1953 during his arrest. After his whereabouts became widely known, the cardinal was transferred to Prudnik in southern Poland.
