Tuchorza

The manor park in northeastern Tuchorza covers 6.32 hectares; its origins date back to 1732. A cycling route runs through the town and is 20 kilometres long. Historic buildings include the former Protestant Church of St Peter and Paul and the Church of the Holy Trinity, which has a different history.

In the 19th century, the manor park was redesigned as a landscape park with a pond and a viewing mound. This design adds specific features to its long history that define the character of the grounds. The park is also home to notable trees: an oak has a circumference of 400 centimetres, a beech 380 centimetres and a black pine 330 centimetres. In each case, the measurements refer to the circumference of the trunk.

Other buildings from different periods form part of the park’s surroundings. A presbytery from the early 20th century stands at its southern edge and is now used as a parish house. A school building from the late 19th century is on the west side. The Szarka River also flows north of Tuchorza.

The former Protestant Church of St Peter and Paul was built in the manor park in 1905–1906 in the Neo-Baroque style. It has a single nave, a chancel closed on five sides and a clock tower with an octagonal upper section. Its furnishings include a Neo-Baroque organ case, a stone baptismal font in Neo-Gothic forms and stained-glass windows in the chancel.

The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1998–1999 on the site of a historic wooden church dating from 1732. The old church burned down on the night of 7–8 February 1997. The present building is made of brick and clad in boards on the outside to resemble the old church. A weather vane on the bell tower is the only surviving piece of the former church. The new altar, featuring a figure of the Holy Trinity, was created by Poznań sculptor Roman Kosmala.

A Neo-Gothic burial chapel belonging to the von Kottwitz family, dating from around 1880, stands east of St Peter and Paul. Musical life is also part of the town’s cultural heritage: “Tuchorzacy” exists both as a vocal group and as a men’s choir.

The Tuchorza crime memorial commemorates the execution of 15 Poles by hanging on 9 July 1942. It stands west of the village on a wooded dune mound along the road to Karna. The location and exact date give a visit to the memorial a specific historical context.
