Discover Runowo Krajeńskie
Accommodation in Runowo Krajeńskie
Runowo Krajeńskie brings nature and local history together, with specific points of interest for different kinds of holiday days: a 20-kilometre, blue-marked trail passes through the town; the church, organist’s house and remains of the former palace complex point to different historical periods. A landscape park adds to this mix. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can plan your stay around two interests: walking a named route and discovering cultural history.
Trail and landscape
The 20 km, blue-marked “Szlak im. Stanisława Łabędzińskiego” trail is named after Stanisław Łabędziński and passes through Runowo Krajeńskie. Its length gives you a specific reference point for planning your day; check the local trail signs before setting out.
There is a landscape park in Runowo Krajeńskie; Pałac Runowo is located within Krajeński Landscape Park. These are two distinct geographical references: a park in the town and the palace’s location within Krajeński Landscape Park.
Church and local history
The name Runowo was first mentioned in a written document in 1325. A later, precisely dated landmark is the parish church: it was built between 1606 and 1609 in the late Renaissance style, on the site of an earlier wooden church. The town’s history thus brings together a medieval written mention of its name and a church built in the early modern period.
The church’s furnishings include paintings of its founders, F. and J. Orzelski; the interior furnishings date from the early 17th and 18th centuries. The organist’s house in Runowo Krajeńskie dates from the late 18th century. In addition, remains of two Protestant cemeteries from the 19th and early 20th centuries have survived. These landmarks do not represent a single period of construction, but reflect different eras. The church, house and cemetery remains offer specific points of reference for placing local history in time.
Palace history and trees
A personal story links Runowo with Pałac Runowo: Countess Teofila z Działyńskich Szołdrska-Potulicka, known as the “White Lady”, was born in the palace in Runowo. Pałac Runowo was burned down by German troops in 1945 and finally became a ruin in the post-war years; the clock tower of the original palace has survived. The countess’s personal connection and the building’s later history offer different historical perspectives.
Two oaks and an ash tree in the park of the former palace and park complex are designated as monument trees. This detail adds a landscape landmark to the history of the complex, alongside the architectural remains and the story of the palace.
Choose the focus of your trip
The marked trail offers a different focus from the town’s architectural and personal histories. If you are travelling with your family, you can decide together whether walking or cultural history should take up more of your holiday days. This gives your search for a holiday apartment in Runowo Krajeńskie a clear thematic focus.
