Binowo: Church, Lake and Golf

• St. Maximilian Kolbe Church was built from granite ashlar blocks in the 15th century; its tower dates from the 16th century.
• After being destroyed during the Second World War, the church was rebuilt from 1972 to 1982 and consecrated on November 7, 1982.
• Lake Binowskie lies west of Binowo. It covers 52.4 hectares and has no outflow.
• Binowo Park has an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole course measuring 1,380 meters.

The church can be understood through its several phases of construction. It was built from granite ashlar blocks in the 15th century. An ashlar block is a dressed stone block; the reference to granite thus identifies both the material and the construction method. The tower was added in the 16th century. Its lower part is made of stone and its upper story of wood—two materials that are clearly distinct on the tower.

The church’s later history is marked by a profound rupture: it was destroyed during the Second World War. Reconstruction lasted from 1972 to 1982, and the church was consecrated on November 7, 1982. The medieval construction dates thus sit alongside the history of destruction and rebuilding. Anyone interested in architectural history will find specific dates and material details here, rather than a simple classification by style.

Lake Binowskie lies west of the village of Binowo, in the Bukowe Hills, in the southwestern part of Puszcza Bukowa forest. Its location links the description of the village with a clearly identified landscape. The lake has no outflow and covers 52.4 hectares. It is 1.3 kilometers long and 730 meters wide.

When considering the depth figures, it is important to distinguish between the average and the maximum: the average depth is 5.5 meters, while the maximum is 9.4 meters. The maximum figure therefore does not represent the average depth of the entire lake. Length and width provide additional measurements, while area expresses its size in a different unit. Together, these figures give a more precise picture of the body of water without relying on a single number to represent its entire shape.

Residents and tourists spend their free time outdoors on the shores of Lake Binowskie, play sports, and organize gatherings. The use of the lakeshore is therefore part of the description of the lake, alongside its landscape. The information mentions different activities, not a single fixed program.

Binowo Park offers another sporting option, with two different golf courses: an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole course. The latter is 1,380 meters long and is designed for beginners as well as more experienced players. The number of holes distinguishes the two formats; the length and the stated design are specifically for the 9-hole course. If you would like to include golf in your plans, check current playing conditions with the operator.
