Which historic buildings can you learn about?

The parish church of St. Anne is a Neo-Baroque building and a prominent landmark on the local skyline. Built in 1854, it served as a Protestant church until 1945. On 28 April 1998, it was entered in the register of historic monuments as a listed building under number 1662. Its construction date, former religious use and current status as a listed building are distinct aspects of its history.

Another historic landmark is the thatched wooden Kociewie house. It dates to the 18th century and is believed to have been built on foundations from 1625. On 21 December 1984, it was entered in the register of historic monuments as a listed building under number 1076. The historic house also contains a branch of the municipal library. Regional architectural history and a local community institution thus come together in one place.

The remains of a castle survive on Starościńska Island in Lake Borzechowskie Wielkie. From the 16th to the 18th century, the castle was the seat of the starosts of Grudziądz. This historical connection makes the island another point of interest for travellers interested in the area’s history as well as its landscape. The church, house and castle remains represent different chapters: a Neo-Baroque place of worship, an older wooden house and a former island residence.
