Landscape Park and Remarkable Trees
The landscape park in Koszewko covers 7.6 hectares. Its notable trees include a beech protected as a natural monument, four small-leaved lime trees and two ash trees. The park also contains a chestnut avenue dating from the 1930s. The dates are markedly different: the park dates from the 18th century, while the avenue dates from the 1930s. This gives you two ways to appreciate the park: through its origins and through its specific tree species. For your travel plans, Koszewko offers a distinct landscape setting that can be combined with the village’s historical themes.
Churchyard, Castle and Hillfort
Remains of the original cemetery, dating from the first half of the 16th century, have been preserved at the churchyard. The churchyard is partially enclosed by a stone wall and a wire fence. Another architectural detail is the square corner tower at the castle: it was added during renovations in 1922 and is richly decorated in its central section. The hillfort, in turn, offers a perspective on the early Middle Ages. Traces of a Slavic hillfort dating from the 9th to 10th centuries have been preserved in Koszewko. It measured 135 × 170 metres and was surrounded by a defensive rampart up to four metres high. These dimensions give a sense of the fortification’s scale and set it apart from the castle’s design and the surviving cemetery remains.
Stargard: City History and Activities
Stargard offers a distinct cultural and historical focus. St Mary’s Church and the medieval town walls were recognised as a Monument of History by an ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland dated 17 September 2010. The town walls are among the few examples in West Pomerania of medieval town fortifications that have survived almost along their entire length, complete with defensive gates and bastions. A museum exhibition in Stargard covers the city’s history from its founding in the 13th century to the beginning of the 18th century.
There are various routes for exploring Stargard on foot or by bike. The circular route “Stargard – Jewel of Pomerania” runs through the Old Town and is about 3 kilometres long. The red cycling route “Through the Drumlins of the Stargard Region” runs from Stargard via Lipnik, Zieleniewo, Morzyczyn, Grzędzice, Żarowo, Rogowo and Lubowo, and back to Stargard. The Historical Festival “In the Land of the Griffin” is considered an event for whole families, history enthusiasts and people looking to spend an active June weekend.
