Attractions and Places To See around gmina gmina Płoty - Top 20

The new church in Płoty was built in 1904 after the renovation of the old one, located in the market square, was deemed unprofitable. Part of the land for the church's construction was donated by the owner of the nearby castle, Karl von der Osten. He also financed the larger part of the construction costs. After the new church was built, the old one was demolished.

The history of the New Castle in Płoty begins in 1577, when the Osten family, the previous owners of the Old Castle, sold it to the Blücher family. However, they did not leave Płoty, but bought a plot of land near the former seat and built a new castle on it, similar to the old one. This one was also surrounded by ramparts and a moat, although it did not serve a military function. Initially, it was smaller and more modest than the old one, but over time, after further reconstructions, it became increasingly magnificent and representative. The castle underwent its greatest modernizations at the beginning of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century. It gained its current appearance after another reconstruction in the years 1910-1912.

A beautiful view from here of Lake Nowogardzkie, about 2.5 kilometers long. At the back, a nice fountain only adds to the charm of this place.

What we can see today is not a castle, nor even its ruins. In 2015-2017, archaeological research was carried out on the former castle hill and some foundations were uncovered. Low, brick walls were built on them to mark the shape of the former castle.

The nicely revitalized market square in Resko. In its central point is the town hall, and in front of it a monument in the shape of the globe and a wooden sculpture of Sydonia von Borck, who lived in Resko for some time.

The market in Resko was modernized in 2014 thanks to the funds of Mr. Wander Wegge, a businessman from Brazil who donated PLN 1.3 million for the renovation of the market and financially supported local associations. In 2014, each of the associations received EUR 1,000. Weege comes from Pomerode, Santa Catarina in the south of Brazil, but his ancestors come from Resko. They left here "in search of bread" over 150 years ago, in the times of the Great Emigration. On the market square there is a stone Globe set in 2019 in tribute to Mr. Weege and a picturesque classicist town hall, which resisted the hardships of war and survived without damage.

the first wooden castle was built in 1260–1270. The first mention of the castle in a document issued on the occasion of the division of the duchy into districts appeared in 1295. It is known that the castle was divided and its owners were the Borek and Vidant families. In 1365, Vidanci sold their part to the Pomeranian prince Bogusław V. It is believed that at that time the castle was rebuilt into a fully brick building. In 1447, the castle returned to Borki in its entirety. However, the greatest destruction was caused by the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Russian army passing through it. Probably then the Borków castle was also destroyed. A modern manor house was built in its place in 1774. Around 1826, when the Borek family died out, the castle hill and landed estates were taken over by the von Bülow family. It was probably then that the half-timbered Borków manor house was demolished, and the hill and the surrounding area were afforested, creating the beginning of the park

The east family castle. Renaissance castle from 1910 with noticeable changes. It was up for auction in early 2021. How could it have ended?
