Trelkówko: Church, Memorial Sites and the Ewita Horse Trail

• The church in Trelkówko dates from 1757; it is surrounded by a stone wall and has a tower and two extensions.
• Next to the church stands a monument in the form of an open book. It commemorates the parish residents who fell in the First World War.
• The grave of a pastor with a cast-iron cross is located by the church porch.
• Trelkówko has a former Evangelical cemetery with surviving gravestones and monuments.
• The Baptist chapel dates from 1928–1929 and is currently unused.
• The “Ewita” horse trail passes through Trelkówko.

The church brings together several clearly distinguishable architectural features: its period of construction, the surrounding stone wall, the tower and two extensions. This makes it possible to place the description in context both chronologically and by its external appearance. The wall, tower and additional building sections each indicate a different aspect of the structure, without requiring a particular architectural style to be assumed.

The memorial sites also focus on different things. The open-book monument beside the church commemorates the parish residents who fell in the First World War. The grave of a pastor lies by the church porch and has a cast-iron cross. A monument to fallen members of the parish community and an individual pastor’s grave thus stand side by side as different forms of remembrance.

The former Evangelical cemetery adds to this local history with its surviving gravestones and monuments. The Baptist chapel provides another chronological reference: it dates from 1928–1929 and is currently unused. The church, cemetery and chapel therefore represent different historical connections. For an initial overview, the specific dates and features are especially helpful, while the memorial sites bring the remembrance of people and community to the fore.

The “Ewita” horse trail passes through Trelkówko and runs through Sasek Mały, Szymanki, Ciemna Dąbrowa, Piecuchy, Wały, Gawrzyjałki, Wyżęgi, Jerominy, Chochół, Świętajno, Marksoby, Orżyny, Jabłonka, Trelkówko, Kobylocha, Piece, Sawica, Witówko and Sasek. In this sequence, Trelkówko lies between Jabłonka and Kobylocha. This helps place the village within the specified route order.

For travel planning, Ewita is a different topic from the locally situated traces of architectural history and remembrance: here, the focus is a route through several named places, while there, it is individual historical features in Trelkówko. If you would like to include the horse trail in your plans, check the current conditions and access to the trail before setting out on a specific ride.

First, consider whether you would rather plan your trip around the historical sites or a horse-riding route.
