Discover Grabiny-Zameczek

Chapel, gate and former uses

The chapel is located in the former common room of an outbuilding and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The brick gate of the complex in Grabiny-Zameczek bears a stone coat of arms of Gdańsk. These two details tell the story of the complex in different ways: the chapel is connected with the former use of an interior space, while the coat of arms is a striking feature on the gate. The brick and stone also give this entrance different surfaces and materials.

Another trace of former use is a wooden building in Grabiny-Zameczek that once housed a school and a mill. An unpaved access path leads to it from Młyńska Street. In this case, the building’s former function takes centre stage. This should be distinguished from the remains of a Teutonic castle in Grabiny-Zameczek, which are among the attractions along the Motława Trail. The school and mill, on the one hand, and the castle remains, on the other, offer different starting points for exploring local history.

Park and Motława Trail

Several London plane trees and red-leaved beeches grow in the complex’s park. These tree species add a distinctive landscape focus to the architectural features. There is also a large rest area by the park, close to the destination. The park and rest area provide additional local points of reference alongside the historical attractions.

A marked access path, 500 m long, leads from the Motława Trail in Grabiny-Zameczek to Batorowy Ostaniec. At 14.6 m above sea level, this is the highest natural point in the Żuławy Wiślane. The 500 m refers to the access path to this point. The red-marked Motława Trail itself is a separate route: it runs between Gdańsk (the Marshal’s Office) and Tczew and is 40.4 km long. The two distances therefore refer to different routes and planning scales. Check the condition of the path before setting out.

The Motława Trail also offers a cultural and historical connection in the wider region: along its route are brick churches from the period of the Teutonic Order in Wróblewo, Krzywe Koło, Suchy Dąb and Koźliny. These churches are in the wider area and should be distinguished from the buildings in Grabiny-Zameczek. They provide a regional perspective on brick architecture to complement the local history.

The features mentioned offer different points of interest, while the route distances also distinguish between a short access path and a regional trail.
