What city history and architecture can you discover?
The permanent exhibition at the Muzeum Ziemi Kościerskiej im. dra Jerzego Knyby deals mainly with the history of Kościerzyna and the Kościerski region. Its subject therefore connects the town with the surrounding area. The town hall at Rynek 9, built in 1843, adds a specific historic building to this picture.
The churches also offer distinct architectural points of interest. The parish church dedicated to the Holy Trinity is a large Neo-Baroque brick church with historic furnishings from earlier churches. It is considered the oldest and largest church in its deanery. By contrast, the parish church dedicated to the Resurrection of the Lord is Neo-Gothic: its brick architecture includes pointed-arch windows and stained-glass windows. The town’s history can thus be explored through both a specific construction date and different church styles.
How do the museums differ?
The Muzeum Akordeonu is the first accordion museum in Poland. By reservation, it offers a guided tour featuring a presentation of historic instruments and a mini-concert. This brings the instruments together with a musical performance, so plan your visit with the reservation requirement in mind.
The Muzeum Kolejnictwa focuses on railway vehicles. The museum has the largest and still-growing collection of these vehicles in northern Poland. The historic locomotive shed and workshop rooms are also part of the museum and are considered attractions. The difference between the two museums is clear: one focuses on accordions and a mini-concert, while the other features a growing railway vehicle collection along with historic museum spaces.
