The Church of Matki Bożej Królowej Polski brings together two distinct periods: the church was built in 1836, while its religious works of art date from the 16th to the 19th century. Those interested in religious art will find not just a single construction date here, but a collection spanning several centuries.

The restored market square also tells an older story. The two lizards there symbolize the Knights’ Association of Chełmno Land, founded in 1397. The Szlak Towarzystwa Jaszczurczego passes through Wąbrzeźno and visits places associated with the association’s activities, as well as with late medieval architecture and urban planning. This lets you include both the town’s history and historically significant routes in your travel plans.
