A wonderful place. Here you can admire ancient buildings from Kashubia, Kociewie, and the Tuchola Forest. There are wooden cottages, windmills, an inn, churches, and entire old farmsteads. Travel back in time to see what people did when there was no internet! A truly interesting place, such living, fascinating history. You can peek into each building and see what it was like. Don't forget to buy tickets! http://www.muzeum-wdzydze.gda.pl/

It's about Jews. In the interwar period, there were only a few of them in Kościerzyna, though in 1886 there were 468, in 1920 – 95, and a year later, after the lands were incorporated into Poland, only 18 people of Jewish nationality lived in Kościerzyna. Before the outbreak of the war, only two families remained. Where did they go? During this period, Jews from Kashubia emigrated en masse to Germany, with which they were culturally and mentally more aligned. Herman and Rozalia were therefore among the last to remain in Kościerzyna.

At the very beginning, it is worth mentioning the dedication ceremony of the Lutheran Church in Kościerzyna (Berent), which took place on Wednesday, April 18, 1894, as stated in the holiday program of the ceremony, printed especially for this occasion. This temple served the local faithful of the Evangelical faith until 1945. After World War II, this post-Evangelical church under the invocation of St. John of Nepomuk was designated for youth as a school church. The Resurrectionists came to Kościerzyna at the request of the then Ordinary of the Chełmno Diocese, Bishop Kazimierz Józef Kowalski, who wanted to entrust them with the care of the abandoned post-Evangelical church and the children and school youth in Kościerzyna. The Resurrectionists arrived in the city on July 4, 1947. https://parafiakoscierzyna.pl/index.php/historia-parafii

The Museum – Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski Kashubian Ethnographic Park in Wdzydze Kiszewskie is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Gołuń. There are over 50 buildings characteristic of the rural landscape of Kashubia, Kociewie and Tuchola Forest from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can admire the wealth of old wooden architecture of Pomerania with its equipment: cottages, manors, a school, windmills, churches, inns, farm buildings and craft workshops. The farmsteads present: methods of grinding snuff and grinding grain, washing, mangling, tailoring, weaving, the work of a blacksmith, wheelwright and forest worker. The museum offers various workshops and shows, both for individual visitors and for groups. For the youngest visitors, an interactive exhibition has been prepared “Museum for fun?” - where children can experience the past and plan a museum of the future. This is an exhibition where you are allowed to touch the exhibits: check what it is like to sleep under a duvet, look inside a cast iron waffle iron and rummage through a kitchen cupboard. It tells about various museums that exist in the world; explains why we need museum collections in the first place; shows what kind of exhibits can be collected, for example, in open-air museums. It asks children and adults the question: "What matters to people?" In this way, the exhibition makes visitors aware that research never ends, and that history and tradition are constantly being created. https://wdzydzkipark.pl/o-parku-4/dziedzictwo-kulturowe-6/muzea/kaszubski-park-etnograficzny/

Branch Church of St. Barbara in Wdzydze Kiszewskie Built around 1700 in the village of Swornegacie. In 1740, a tower was added. Originally dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. Bartholomew. Expanded in 1740, 1744 and 1812. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was in a deplorable state. In 1916, the first Holy Mass was celebrated in the new church, and the old one was to be demolished. However, the residents saved the monument, which was renovated in 1947. In 1980, the Chełmno Curia transferred the then inactive temple to the open-air museum in Wdzydze. The church was moved to the open-air museum in the years 1980-1987.
