Tips from the Community
A wonderful place. Here you can admire ancient buildings from Kashubia, Kociewie, and the Tuchola Forest. There are wooden cottages, windmills, an inn, churches, and entire old farmsteads. Travel back in time to see what people did when there was no internet! A truly interesting place, such living, fascinating history. You can peek into each building and see what it was like. Don't forget to buy tickets! http://www.muzeum-wdzydze.gda.pl/

This observation tower is over 35 meters high and is a must-climb for a magnificent panorama of Wdzydze and Wda, with their numerous islands. The views are breathtaking. There's also a restaurant nearby, so you won't go hungry.

At the very beginning, it is worth mentioning the dedication ceremony of the Lutheran Church in Kościerzyna (Berent), which took place on Wednesday, April 18, 1894, as stated in the holiday program of the ceremony, printed especially for this occasion. This temple served the local faithful of the Evangelical faith until 1945. After World War II, this post-Evangelical church under the invocation of St. John of Nepomuk was designated for youth as a school church. The Resurrectionists came to Kościerzyna at the request of the then Ordinary of the Chełmno Diocese, Bishop Kazimierz Józef Kowalski, who wanted to entrust them with the care of the abandoned post-Evangelical church and the children and school youth in Kościerzyna. The Resurrectionists arrived in the city on July 4, 1947. https://parafiakoscierzyna.pl/index.php/historia-parafii
