Discover Niewiesze

In Niewiesze, historic buildings and a bathing area on the Pławniowice Reservoir offer very different experiences. The mid-19th-century chapel, the cross dating from 1909 and the Słoneczna Plaża bathing area provide specific points of interest; two routes add further landmarks to explore. You can tailor your stay to the subjects that interest you most: architecture, local history, time by the water or a route through Niewiesze. These preferences can also guide your search for a holiday apartment in Niewiesze.

Słoneczna Plaża bathing area

The Słoneczna Plaża bathing area is on the Pławniowice Reservoir in the Niewiesze district, near Plażowa Street. Four information boards mark the land area; buoys mark the bathing area in the water. There is also a children’s pool.

Facilities at the bathing area include sanitary facilities, a car park, bicycle racks, a beach volleyball court, barbecue areas with water points, changing rooms, a food outlet and a water sports equipment rental service. Before your visit, check which individual services are currently operating. This way, you can take both the bathing area and the other listed facilities into account when planning, without limiting your stay to a single activity.

Chapel, cross and local history

The chapel at 16 Pyskowicka Street in Niewiesze dates from the mid-19th century and has a square ground plan. It is topped with a hipped roof. A wooden, octagonal roof turret—a small structure—sits on the roof. Its sides are openwork; above it rises a pyramidal spire topped with a sphere and a metal cross. The plastered façade has a crowning cornice and a frieze with semicircular ornamentation. This building lets you distinguish the roof structure from the more finely detailed façade.

A large cross dating from 1909 stands at 1 Toszecka Street. Its niche contains a statue of Mary in a white robe and blue mantle; the front is decorated with a plant motif in relief. Compared with the chapel, the emphasis here is on the niche, statue and relief work, while the chapel draws attention to its roof shape and façade design.

Niewiesze is one of the oldest places in the Rudziniec municipality. Its history dates back to the 12th century. In addition to the clearly dated buildings, this long local history offers another time scale for exploring the place.

Routes through Niewiesze

The red-marked Szlak Ziemi Gliwickiej passes through Niewiesze. Route 409 starts and ends in Toszek and passes through the districts of Słupsko, Niewiesze and Bycina. The routes offer different points of reference: for the Szlak, the red marking and its course through Niewiesze are key; Route 409 can be identified by its endpoints in Toszek and the districts it passes through. Before setting out, check the current markings for Route 409.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Niewiesze, you can first decide whether the bathing area, architecture or routes will shape your stay.
