Franciscan Monastery Complex
Highlight • Religious Site
Franciscan monastery complex in Kadyny - the Franciscan monastery complex built in 1745–1799, on a hill in Kadyny, in the place of an old Prussian town of the Pomezan tribe.
In 1682, the owner of Kadyny was Jan Teodor Schlieben - the province governor of Livonia and one of the leaders of the anti-elective opposition in Ducal Prussia. The follower of Lutheranism became a zealous Catholic under the influence of the Jesuits from Reszel, which led him to actively support the Catholic Church. Even before 1682, he began building a chapel in honor of St. Anthony of Padua and living quarters for monks, on the site of a medieval castle, on a hill overlooking Kadyny. He then asked Father Erazm Maron, the provincial of the Greater Poland Province of the Bernardines, to take care of this place.
Schlieben planned to build a church and a Loreto House in the village. The settlement of the Bernardines was to result, in the founder's intention, in converting Protestants in the vicinity of Gdańsk and Elbląg. Schlieben gave the monks not only a place to build a church and a monastery, but also four Prussian acres of land, a meadow, farm animals (two horses and two oxen) and two carts. He resigned from charging fees for logging trees in the forest and for catching fish. His son also supported the Franciscans by giving them land.
After the partitions of Poland, the areas around Elbląg were incorporated into Prussia. It was then that the monastery began to decline, and its final end and closure took place on April 6, 1826, when the last three monks were transferred to other monasteries. The monastery buildings were partially demolished, and those that remained deteriorated more and more until they fell into complete ruin.
The first chapel at the site of the future church was wooden. Even a small fire could lead to its complete destruction, so the monks tried to erect brick buildings. The cornerstone for the construction of the temple was consecrated by the suffragan of Warmia, bishop Franciszek Kurdwanowski. The construction of the church began in 1716 and lasted until 1727.

Summer residence of Emperor Wilhelm II
Highlight • Historical Site
Eduard Birkner bequeathed the village to Emperor Wilhelm II, who became his property on December 15, 1898. Emperor Wilhelm ordered the construction of an imperial summer residence in Kadyny.
The acquisition of Kadyn by the emperor resulted in a great development of the village. The new owner ordered the reconstruction of the property and the construction of a new village according to the designs of Berlin architects in the so-called Ordensstil (from German, monastic style).
In the years 1902–1905 a school was built.
Entrance gate to the farm area, on the right there are residential buildings for the farm service
At the emperor's order, in 1905 a ceramic factory was established in the village, specializing in the production of majolica for the needs of the court. It was also used to make ceramic ornaments on the Royal Route in Gdańsk, and Kadyński products were appreciated in the country and abroad. After World War I, production was expanded and commercial in nature. Large clay deposits contributed to the creation of a brickyard.
From 1937 to 1944, the grandson of Wilhelm II, Fr. Ludwik Ferdynand with his large family.

KADYNY Manor
Highlight • Historical Site
The Kadyny State Farm - Kadyny Horse Stud was operating in the village, since 1994 it was transformed into the Kadyny State Treasury Horse Stud. In 2009 it was closed.
The first mention of the village comes from 1255. Kadyny was the seat of the bailiff's office, and later the forest district, which was subordinate to the Elbląg commander. There was a Teutonic manor farm and a hunting lodge here. The defensive Teutonic court was built in the 13th century.
In 1431, Jan Bażyński became the owner of Kadyny, who received these goods in return for the order's debts. In 1605, the last of the Bażyńskis - Ludwik Bażyński with his wife Anna née Białobłocki sold Kadyny to the city of Elbląg. In 1682, Jan Teodor Schlieben became the owner of Kadyny.
After his death in 1695, the Kadyń estate was inherited by his eldest son, Ernest Zygmunt Schlieben, who sold the village to Stanisław Samuel Działyński (the starost of Kiszewo). Kadyny was inherited from him by Jan Ignacy Działyński, from whom the younger son of Jan Teodor Schlieben - the Voivode of Livonia, Jan Wilhelm Schlieben - bought the town. In 1786 the village was bought by the Prussian general count Wilhelm von Schwerin. Then, in 1799, Kadyny became the property of the then canon of the Warmia Chapter, Ignacy Stanisław Mattha. The village was sold several times (the owner was, among others, the Struensee family). From 1817 its owner was the Elbląg merchant Daniel Birkner, and from 1827 his son Eduard Birkner.
In the middle of the 18th century, a Franciscan monastery was built on the site of a Prussian stronghold.

Jan Bażyński Oak
Highlight • Natural Monument
The pedunculate oak is estimated to be 700 years old, making it one of the oldest trees in Poland. But not only their age but also their extent is interesting. With a circumference of 10m, it is considered the thickest oak in Poland.
