Discover Składowice: Church, History and Trails

Church and Local History

The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Składowice is a branch church of the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Mleczno. It is small, contemporary in origin and has a single nave. Its rectangular floor plan, the absence of a separately defined chancel and the lack of a tower describe its design in more detail. Inside, the church is surrounded by sculpturally rendered Stations of the Cross. For anyone interested in church architecture and religious art, these details offer concrete points of interest: the floor plan, spatial layout and Stations of the Cross are among the building’s distinctive features.

Składowice Castle is also associated with a notable figure: Johann Jonston, a physician, naturalist and historian, lived here. This connection links the village’s history to several fields of knowledge. Składowice also has a historic rural settlement pattern with archaeological layers. The village’s history is therefore revealed not only through a single building, but also through its inherited settlement structure.

The village’s character also includes the municipal cemetery and its boundary wall, which date from 1925. Today, it is the cemetery of the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Mleczno. Anyone exploring local history will find another concrete point of interest here, alongside the church, castle and settlement pattern.

A chestnut-lined avenue runs along the road leading from the south to the castle-park-manor complex in Składowice. This also provides a specific point of orientation: the avenue follows the road that approaches the complex from the south.

Forest Trail, Nature Trail and Cycle Route

The green forest trail passes through Bolesławiec, Chocianów, Lisiec, Krzeczyn Wielki, Lubin, Składowice, Toszowice, Stara Rudna, Rozłogi, Miłogoszcz, Górki and Chobienia. Składowice is therefore part of a route that includes numerous places. Anyone interested in forest trails and connections between localities can consider this route as a distinct aspect of their trip planning.

A nature trail highlighting places of natural interest links Siedlce, Księginice and Składowice. Its focus on nature distinguishes it in the description from the green forest trail. The blue cycle route around Lubin also passes through Składowice, as well as Zalesie. It offers a cycling option and is described as another separate route. Different interests are therefore catered to: a forest trail, a nature trail featuring natural sites, and a cycle route through several places.

Considering Składowice as a Travel Destination

When choosing a holiday apartment in Składowice, you can first consider which aspect of the village interests you most. The church, castle history, settlement pattern and cemetery offer opportunities to combine your stay with local history and architecture. The forest trail, nature trail and cycle route appeal to different interests in outdoor activities and nature. The chestnut-lined avenue and the road leading from the south to the castle-park-manor complex provide an additional, specific point of orientation.

If you are mainly interested in history, Składowice offers several clearly distinct points of interest. If trails and natural sites matter more to you, you can make the type of route the focus of your planning. This makes it easier to assess whether the combination of local history and the described routes matches your travel interests.
