The half-timbered house, considered a historic landmark of Koszwaly, dates from 1792. Another wooden house stands at 27 Gdańska Street and dates from the 19th century. These dates place the two houses in different centuries and offer a tangible introduction to the village’s older residential architecture.

Religious buildings also reflect different historical connections. A lapidarium comprising five historic gravestones is located on the exterior walls of a church. In the centre of Koszwaly, a religious building with stylised Gothic features was built in the late 1990s on the site of a former Lutheran church. The architectural heritage thus includes residential houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, a lapidarium with five historic gravestones, and a religious building with stylised Gothic features.

First consider what you want your trip to focus on: the route, whose suitability for cycling depends on the season and weather, or the architectural history, with houses from the 18th and 19th centuries and religious landmarks.
