Discover Staniewice
Accommodation in Staniewice
Staniewice brings together two distinctive features: the village’s half-timbered architecture and the landscape along the Wieprza. There are 19 half-timbered houses in Staniewice; most of the half-timbered buildings have been preserved in the western part of the village. This means you will encounter half-timbering not just on a single building. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider whether you would like to focus your stay more on village architecture, walking routes, or the river. These interests offer different ways to experience the place.

Church and half-timbering
A closer look at the Church of St. Michael the Archangel reveals several periods of construction. The half-timbered building dates from 1770 and is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. The Gothic tower dates from the time of the first church, in the 15th century. Thus, the church comprises an 18th-century structure and a tower associated with a much older predecessor. In half-timbered construction, the wooden framework remains visible as a defining feature of the wall; the church makes this building method particularly easy to appreciate in the village.
Smaller details also contribute to the church’s character: the side doors have Baroque wrought-iron handles. An old lock bears the inscription “Ernest Hartcke and Johann Hartcke, Rügenwalde” and the year 1771. The combination of Baroque metalwork and a dated lock broadens the view from the building’s structure to its fittings. Together with the half-timbering and Gothic tower, these features create a layered impression of the church without requiring it to belong to a single period of construction.
Walking routes and river landscape
For those interested in walking, the green hiking trail from Ustka to Sławno passes through Staniewice. A yellow route runs from Tyń to Staniewice along a stretch of the Wieprza. The places named along the way help with orientation: Ustka and Sławno mark the endpoints of the green trail, while Tyń, the Wieprza, and Staniewice describe the course of the yellow route. This makes it possible to see Staniewice as a stop on two differently described routes.
There is a landing stage and a recreation area for the kayaking route on the Wieprza in Staniewice. In the Municipality of Postomino, a scenic kayaking route for river trips also runs along the river. The Moszczeniczka stream flows north of the village and joins the Wieprza near Staniewice. Thus, a riverside landing point, a kayaking route at municipality level, and a stream running north of the village are among the area’s different connections with water. If you include the landing stage in your plans, check the current conditions in advance.
Staniewice also lies on a historic transport route between Darłowo and Słupsk. This connection adds another perspective on the village’s location, alongside its architectural history and river landscape.
Choose your focus
When choosing a holiday apartment in Staniewice, you can decide what to focus on: the church and half-timbered houses offer a window onto the village’s architectural history, the green hiking trail lends itself to a walking-focused itinerary, and the Wieprza offers a connection to the river landscape and kayaking route. Which of these aspects matters most to you depends on whether you would like to focus your trip on village architecture, walking routes, or water.
