Piece – Kociewie Heritage and Historic Routes

• Piece lies on National Road 22, about 2 km west of the village of Kaliska.
• In 1997, the Izydora Gulgowski Trail was rerouted so that it runs directly from Kaliska to Piece and then to the Gulgowski House in Iwiczno.
• A wooden Kociewie house at 14 6 Marca Street dates from the 19th century and is listed in the Pomeranian Voivodeship heritage register under number 875.
• The Parish Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was built between 1911 and 1914 and is listed under number 1909.

Piece is home to a thatched Kociewie porch house dating from 1885. A wooden Kociewie house stands at 14 6 Marca Street, at the corner with Okrężna Street; it dates from the 19th century and is listed as a monument in the Pomeranian Voivodeship under number 875. The precise address and street corner help you locate this building within the village.

The Parish Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus also has a clearly defined building history. Construction began on 16 July 1911 on Czubnica Hill and was completed in 1914. The church was designed in the Neo-Baroque style by Franz Kunst, who also supervised the construction. For travelers interested in architecture, the style, architect and construction period offer different ways to explore the village.

The church has a distinctive tower. When construction was completed, the parish church was equipped with a thirteen-stop Walcker organ. The Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was established on 16 December 1922 by Augustyn Rosentreter, then Bishop of Chełmno. This makes it possible to trace the community’s development chronologically, from the construction of the church to the establishment of the parish.

The church complex protected under number 1909 includes the church and the rectory at 3 Kościelna Street. The Catholic cemetery between Kościelna Street and Zielona Street is also listed in the Pomeranian Voivodeship heritage register under number 1909. The location details distinguish the church complex from the cemetery and name the respective streets, which can help you find your way around Piece.

The rerouting of the trail in 1997 places Piece on a specific route: it runs directly from Kaliska to Piece and then to the Gulgowski House in Iwiczno. In the Piece area, it follows Działkowa Street to National Road 22. The described route then continues via the unpaved Okrężna Street, 6 Marca Street and Szkolna Street toward Iwiczno. Okrężna’s unpaved surface is a practical detail to consider when planning your route.

The listed house at No. 14 stands at the corner of Okrężna and 6 Marca streets. At kilometer 2.5 on 6 Marca Street, there is also a chapel dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk. Both details locate buildings along the described streets; they do not provide information about the duration or conditions of a walk.

Its location on National Road 22 and its approximate distance of about 2 km west of the village of Kaliska provide a brief geographical reference. The route connects this location with a named destination in Iwiczno.
