Discover Kamienica Szlachecka

• Eighty-five graves from the Roman Imperial period were discovered at the archaeological cemetery: 44 cremation burials and 41 inhumations.
• The hillfort was entered in the archaeological monuments register of the Pomeranian Voivodeship on 11 November 1947 under number C-5; its former number was 11/A.
• The Matki Boskiej Chapel and the post-epidemic cemetery southwest of the village are listed in the voivodeship monuments register. The cemetery is marked by a metal cross.
• A cycle path extension is planned along a section of county road 1914G.

The archaeological cemetery offers a precisely defined glimpse into the Roman Imperial period: the 85 graves discovered date from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. They comprise 44 cremation burials and 41 inhumations. The cremation burials include both urn and pit graves. The two groups are close in number, differing by three graves.

The hillfort is another point of reference in the history of the village’s monuments. It was entered in the archaeological monuments register of the Pomeranian Voivodeship on 11 November 1947. It was listed under C-5; its previous registration number was 11/A. Both the specific date and the two identifying numbers are therefore relevant to understanding its history.

The Matki Boskiej Chapel is listed in the voivodeship monuments register. The same applies to the post-epidemic cemetery southwest of Kamienica Szlachecka. This cemetery has a specific distinguishing feature: it is marked by a metal cross. The chapel and cemetery are separate points of reference alongside the archaeological grave finds.

If you take cultural aspects into account when choosing a destination, these details can be distinguished by their nature: here, a named chapel, a locally situated cemetery with a cross, and an archaeological cemetery with dated burials sit side by side. They offer different points of interest for exploring architectural and local history, as well as archaeology.

Kamienica Szlachecka was first mentioned in written sources in the 15th century. Its name offers another, linguistic perspective: it derives from the Kashubian word “kamińca,” meaning “stony place.” Different kinds of clues can therefore help you understand the destination: an early written mention, a linguistic explanation of the place name, and archaeological evidence dating to a much earlier period.

An extension of the cycle path is planned along a section of county road 1914G in Kamienica Szlachecka. The project is intended to start at the intersection with the unpaved ul. Zamkowa, where it will join the existing bituminous pedestrian and cycle path. It is planned to end at a concrete-paved access road in the built-up area near ul. Zielone Wzgórze, where the extension will connect to an existing footpath.

For your planning, the fact that this is a proposal is important. If you want to include the section in a trip, check the current project status beforehand. This will help you distinguish the planned extension from a route that has already been completed.
