Top 5 Natural Monuments around Kozielice

In 2024, the park around the well was revitalized. Three figures were placed at the well: Bishop Otto of Bamberg, who came with a Christianization mission, Warcisław I - the Duke of Pomerania, who accepted Christianity, and Bolesław Krzywousty - the Polish prince who conquered Pomerania, made Warcisław I his vassal and sent a Christianization mission.

The place where, in the 10th-12th centuries, there was a wooden defensive stronghold of Pomeranians surrounded by a moat. In case of danger, he was supposed to provide shelter to local residents. Later, a castle was built here, but there is no more detailed information about it. In written documents there is only a mention from 1276. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, a knights' manor of the von der Osten family was built on the site of the castle, but it was abandoned after 1724. In 1755, Otto von Rosey bought the entire estate and the manor and decided to build a new palace (which still exists today). In the 19th century, a decision was made to demolish the former manor house. Today, all that remains of the former stronghold/castle/manor house is a wildly overgrown hill. The moat surrounding it is clearly visible. There are no traces of former buildings. All that remains is to imagine what it once looked like.

Part of the former farm and palace complex in Golenice. It is located between the palace and the lake and is today accessible to everyone. A fence separates it from the palace. The park was established in the 18th century and is planted with various trees. Hornbeams and chestnut trees grow on the main avenues, but you can also see other exotic trees, such as plane trees.

A monument in the form of a boulder with the inscription "Aus Schwerer Zeit 1914-1918" (Difficult times 1914-1918). The boulder lies on the eastern side of the road, on the slope. It's easy to miss.

The town of Pyrzyce can boast that it was the first Christian town in this part of Poland. It was here that centuries ago (in 1124) the Christianization mission of Bishop Otto of Bamberg began. On the orders of Bolesław Wrymouth, he set off to Western Pomerania to preach the Gospel. In the place where the well stands, Otto of Bamberg gathered the then inhabitants of Pyrzyce and performed one of the largest mass baptisms in Pomerania. On the 700th anniversary of these events, thanks to the future king of Germany, Frederick William, a monument was erected in this place. The work by Charles F. Schinkel was inspired by the ancient Baptistery of Constantine the Great in Rome. The spring was surrounded by granite slabs, and its surface was located just below a stone cross, at the base of which there is a Latin invocation: Come (hasten) to the source of life, come! Christ will baptize you and open the door of eternal salvation. The well has survived in this shape to this day. Unfortunately, there is no water in it anymore because the spring has dried up. However, this place is worth seeing, because history is still alive in this place. In 1991, the well and the park were entered into the register of monuments. In 1999-2000, for the first time since World War II, the well was renovated. Since 1991, the monument and its surroundings have belonged to the parish of Our Lady of Sorrows.

The oak was planted in 1816. Officially, it is called the Peace Oak, but it is also called the Brewers' Oak because Lipiany was once famous for its beer production.

natural monument is located on Plac Wolności, circumference at breast height 430 cm, height 28 m, age 190

The oak in front of the town hall was planted in memory of the victory over Napoleon in 1816. The Polish population strangely sees it as a reference to the city's rich brewing tradition, which is why it is called "Piwowka".
