The development of Pawłowiczki is linked to the history of the Moravian Brethren. Their settlement began in early 1766. Another significant period followed in 1780: the last development phase of what is now the village was a colony established on the estates of Warmuntowice. It was a Protestant artisans’ settlement arranged around a square.

The description of the settlement as a community of artisans, and its layout around a square, also give this historic part of the town a distinct character. Those interested in the development of settlements will find more here than a single date: the history encompasses both the arrival of settlers and a colony with its own spatial layout.

In the centre of Pawłowiczki stands the Adam Mickiewicz monument, near the municipal office. Its location places the monument in the central part of the town. The former courthouse is another notable historic building.

The parish church of St Andrew and St James is another historical highlight. It was built in 1782–1783 and extended at the beginning of the 20th century using Baroque forms. This means two distinct periods can be identified in the building: its construction in the late 18th century and its extension at the beginning of the 20th century. The church stands on a small hill in the northeastern part of Pawłowiczki. Tombstones from the 19th century are set into the inside wall of its enclosure. The location, building history and tombstones offer different points of interest for travellers interested in historic architecture and memorials.

The historic park in Pawłowiczki was laid out in 1830. Its described features include numerous interesting species of rare vegetation. It therefore adds a nature-related aspect to the historic buildings: while the church and former courthouse illustrate the town’s architectural history above all, the park is notable for its vegetation. When planning your visit, you can decide whether you would like to explore Pawłowiczki primarily through its history and architecture or also through the park’s plant life.
