Attractions and Places To See around Warnice - Top 20

The palace in Koszewo is a historic, eclectic residence from 1914–1916, picturesquely situated on a high escarpment above Lake Miedwie in the Stargard municipality. Currently, the property is privately owned and can be admired mainly from the outside, for example, during walks or bike tours in the area. The building combines Neo-Baroque and Neoclassical elements. A characteristic feature is the tall tower with a Neo-Baroque helmet and a viewing gallery on the lake side, as well as smaller, cylindrical turrets in the corners of the facade. The entrance is adorned with a four-column portico with a balcony.

The Old Town in Stargard is the historical heart of the city and one of the most valuable urban spaces in Western Pomerania. It is distinguished by its perfectly preserved medieval circular layout, surrounded by green parkland created on the site of former ramparts and moats. Although the Old Town suffered immense destruction during World War II, monumental Gothic brick monuments have survived here to this day, thanks to which Stargard is considered one of the most important points on the European Route of Brick Gothic.

Brama Świętojańska in Stargard (also called Szczecin Gate) is a former medieval city gate built around 1450, which today has the form of a neo-Gothic road tunnel. The structure is located along Świętego Jana Chrzciciela street, in the vicinity of the historic St. John's Church. It is an integral part of the powerful medieval defensive walls of Stargard.

The Mill Gate in Stargard (also known as the Port Gate, Water Gate, Coat of Arms Gate, or River Gate) is a unique monument of medieval defensive architecture on a European scale. It is the only water gate in Poland and one of the few in Europe built directly over a flowing river (a branch of the Ina River – the Mill Canal). Together with the Collegiate Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the World, and the remaining defensive walls, this structure holds the status of a Historical Monument of the President of the Republic of Poland. The construction does not stand next to the river, but literally above it. The massive span of the gate bridges both banks of the Mill Canal, allowing water to flow directly under the building. The structure rests on two cylindrical towers, 28 meters high, topped with conical helmets. The facade is decorated with blind arcades, and the towers feature visible loopholes and crenellations.

It was built at the beginning of the 15th century. Originally, two free-standing towers were connected by a wooden bridge, which was later replaced by a brick structure with a passage.

Currently, it is a neo-Gothic tunnel under which a street is located, so it can only be reached from the top - via Aleja Słowicza, or ul. Św. Jana Chrzciciela from a distance of about 10 meters. The Świętojańska Gate (also called Szczecin Gate) was built in the 1450s and was originally preceded by an outer gate with a drawbridge, a throat, and an inner gate. It defended the access to the city from the Szczecin side.

Abbey and Cistercian Church in Kołbacz

The monastery church was originally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and its construction began at the same time as the entire monastery, in 1210. Initially, the temple was built in the late Romanesque style, and it was completed in the Gothic style in 1347. After the secularization of the monastery in the 16th century, the main nave was transformed into a granary. The original 15th-century altar, which was originally located in the temple, can now be seen in the Basilica of St. James in Szczecin. During the period when the monastery was in operation, deceased Pomeranian princes were buried there. Unfortunately, in 1720, the side naves were demolished. On the wall of the church, you can see a blind rosette, which, according to legend, was made by a blind person.
