Nowe: Jezioro Czarownic and Medieval Town History

Kąpielisko nad Jeziorem Czarownic is located in the lakeside leisure complex; it has a sandy beach and jetties. The surviving town wall is about 550 metres long and is connected to the castle. The Church of St Matthew was built around the middle of the 14th century.

Kąpielisko nad Jeziorem Czarownic is located in the leisure complex at Jezioro Czarownic in Nowe. The bathing area features a sandy beach and jetties; swimming is seasonal. If swimming is a focus of your trip, take this seasonal schedule into account when choosing your travel dates.

The leisure complex also includes beach volleyball courts, a restaurant, a toilet and covered shelters. These facilities complement the bathing area within the same complex. When planning your stay by the lake, you can therefore consider both seasonal swimming and the other facilities in the complex.

The Church of St Matthew was built around the middle of the 14th century on the site of a wooden place of worship. Its Gothic wall paintings date from the 14th to 15th centuries; they were uncovered and conserved during renovation work in 1913. The church thus brings together two historical layers: the building history of the place of worship and the later treatment of the paintings.

The castle was built after the town was founded in the mid-14th century, at the northeastern corner of the town wall, and was connected to it. The surviving town wall complex is about 550 metres long. Its connection with the castle gives the fortifications a specific historical context, while the church offers another perspective on Nowe’s architectural history.

The church is accessible from the outside; the interior is accessible during services. If you would like to visit the interior, check the current service times locally.

One suggested cycling trip passes through Nowe and into the area around Jezioro Czarownic. It offers a different way to plan your visit from exploring the historic buildings: here, the focus is on a bike ride with the lake as its destination area; there, on the history of the church, town wall and castle. You can weigh these interests separately or include them in your travel plans without combining them into a single sightseeing route.

First consider whether seasonal swimming, town history or both will shape your stay. When comparing accommodation, you can assess the listed locations against your travel plans. This lets you tailor your search for hotels in Nowe to the activities that matter most to you, rather than choosing based only on a general place name.
