Kwilcz: Church, Parks and Hiking Trail No. 3

• The Church of St. Michael was built between 1766 and 1781; the tower was built in 1792–1793.
• A sprawling park with a central chestnut avenue lies east and south of the palace buildings.
• The wooden observation pavilion known as the Gloriette stands on a rise in the central part of the park.
• The black Hiking Trail No. 3 begins in Kwilcz and leads in the direction of Rozbitek.

The church is a tangible reference point for the village’s architectural history. Its neoclassical design dates to the period from 1766 to 1781. The tower was added later: it was built in 1792–1793 and is topped with an obelisk-shaped spire. This allows the construction of the church to be divided into two distinct periods, rather than treating the church and tower as a single building project.

If you are particularly interested in architecture, this sequence offers a clear view of the different construction phases. The tower’s spire adds a distinctive feature to the description of the church. The church and tower can thus be understood as separate construction phases.

The palace and park ensemble can be understood through its location and individual features: the sprawling park extends east and south of the palace buildings. A chestnut avenue runs through the center of the park. The wooden observation pavilion, known as the Gloriette, stands on a rise in the central part of the park. Together, the setting, avenue and named pavilion are among the defining features of the ensemble.

This combination can help you decide what interests you: anyone interested in landscaped grounds will find not just a general park, but also a described avenue and a pavilion with its own name. The Gloriette’s position on a rise sets its location apart within the central part of the park from the chestnut avenue, which runs through the park.

Another park lies in the northern part of Kwilcz. It is described as a landscape park and is notable for its valuable tree population. This gives you two different park settings to explore: the palace and park ensemble east and south of the palace buildings, with its central avenue and Gloriette, and the landscape park in the north.

The black Hiking Trail No. 3 is another point of interest. It begins in Kwilcz and runs in the direction of Rozbitek. This directional information helps you get your bearings before setting out. Check local trail conditions before you start.
