Attractions and Places To See around Damasławek - Top 17

The church is impressive; I wouldn't go inside it alone at night. There's another church nearby, so this one is probably in its current state of decay.

Buildings and remains of the infrastructure of the former railway station in Damasławek on the disused section of line no. 281 Oleśnica-Chojnice (Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią section). It was opened in 1887 together with the line from Gniezno to Nakło nad Notecią. In 1889, another line was opened from Inowrocław to Wągrowiec, on which passenger traffic was suspended in 1996. Traffic on the Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią section lasted until 23 June 2000. The station building dates back to 1900. When built, it contained, among other things, a bar and the stationmaster's apartment. It was connected to the platforms by an underground passage. The station had a water tower, signal box, loading bay and warehouse. Among other things, the station serviced the transport of salt from the mine in Wapno. Residential buildings for railway workers were built, among other things, at Kcyńska and Dworcowa streets. (Wikipedia)

A very nicely developed ruined railway water tower

The abandoned church is a cool thing to see on the route

An unusual monument: a church on a small hill - poor condition, e.g. due to damp and slowly falling plaster, but the church makes an impression and is worth stopping here. Although its time has passed, many details have been preserved, and you can give scope for imagination!

The original water tower was built in 1887 together with the Janowiec Wielkopolski railway station. In 2022, it was revitalized and adapted to the role of a branch of the Municipal-Communal Cultural Center in Janowiec Wielkopolski. The tower has 3 floors connected by a lift, which serve as exhibition and workshop spaces. In addition, in the part added to the water tower, there is a theater with about 150 seats and a viewing terrace with an area of approx. 70 square meters. (kulturawzasiegu.pl)

The mine ceased its mining operations on 5 August 1977 as a result of one of the greatest disasters in the history of Polish mining. A sudden increase in groundwater flooded the third level, which was breached by failing to maintain the appropriate thickness of the protective salt shelf. The direct cause of the disaster was the creation of hydraulic connections between the workings and the aquifers outside the diapir. Numerous landslides appeared in the mine's surroundings. In order to save the town, a 6-kilometre pipeline from Lake Czeszewskie was laid at record speed and water was pumped into the shaft. Despite this, on 28 October 1977 a large sinkhole covered the centre of Wapno, the northern part of the railway station and a section of line no. 281 Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią. 40 houses were destroyed (including apartment blocks). Around 1.4 thousand residents were evacuated, some of whom lost their homes and left the town forever. (Wikipedia)

The ceremonial consecration of the neo-Gothic church took place on September 7, 1892. The Evangelical parish in Zrazim operated until early 1945, later being taken over by the State Treasury. After World War II, in the 1960s and 1970s, the church was periodically used as a warehouse. On December 30, 1996, the building was entered into the register of historical monuments. There are no windows in the church, which means that atmospheric factors systematically and negatively affect the temple. One can see the progressive processes of rotting and fungus. Despite this, the church tower, winding stairs leading to the belfry located at the top, the wooden vault and its decorations, fragments of the floors, and the altar have still been preserved.
