Which historic buildings define Nowe Warpno?
The town hall offers a concrete impression of the town’s architectural history: it was built in 1697 in the Baroque style using half-timbered construction. Both its complete building form and the architectural articulation of its façades have been preserved. Together with the preserved medieval layout, the town hall makes Nowe Warpno’s historic structure tangible.
The Church of the Assumption of Mary contains a Baroque altar dating from 1704. After a fire in 1692, the church tower and roof were rebuilt in 1693. The church also hosts art exhibitions, organ concerts, and choir performances. In Karszno stands the Church of St. Hubert, probably built in the second half of the 18th century; the date 1793 appears on its weather vane. Weddings and painting exhibitions are occasionally held there.
What can you see by the lake and on the peninsula?
The palace at the entrance to Nowe Warpno is designed in the French Neo-Renaissance style, and a historic park surrounds the building. From the palace, the view stretches across Lake Nowe Warpno to the Nowe Warpno Peninsula and Riether Werder Island. Architecture and landscape stand here as distinct aspects of the place: the palace is a prominent building, while the lake, peninsula, and island draw the eye toward the surrounding area.
Which routes can you include in your plans?
The half-kilometre-long promenade is a walking route along the southern shore of the Nowe Warpno Peninsula. For a bike ride, there is another specific reference point: the 3.41-kilometre cycle path runs along an old railway embankment from ul. Polna to provincial road 114, ul. Szczecińska. Another route passes through Nowe Warpno and connects the town with locations in the Puszcza Wkrzańska area. These three details describe different ways to include a walk, a bike ride, or a route beyond the town in your stay.
What do events and the ferry service mean for your trip?
