NMP Królowej Polski Church
The NMP Królowej Polski Church is a Gothic-Baroque, east-facing brick church. Its tower is made of wood and clad with boards. The building was remodelled in 1684; the walls of the chancel date from the second half of the 14th century. The church therefore displays several building phases, which can be discerned in different parts of the building.
The furnishings include a wooden Baroque music gallery dating from 1782. Its balustrade consists of panels and rests on two chamfered posts. For those interested in architecture, these specific details add to the view of the church: alongside the brickwork and wooden tower, the design of the gallery is also part of its historic appearance.
Historic features in the town
The heritage protection zone covering Lublewo Gdańskie’s rural settlement layout protects, preserves and maintains its historically designed greenery. This means the focus is not only on individual buildings, but also on the designed green features of the settlement layout. Anyone interested in local history can consider this aspect alongside the church as another topic.
The Catholic parish cemetery also preserves historic features. It was formerly a Protestant cemetery; the protected elements are the historic course of its avenues and the existing division into burial plots. These features give the cemetery a clearly discernible spatial layout. The church, settlement greenery and cemetery offer different perspectives on Lublewo Gdańskie’s cultural heritage, without needing to be combined into a single walking tour.
A documented open settlement in Lublewo Gdańskie is dated to the Early Iron Age. It adds a much earlier historical reference to the more recent building and cemetery features. For a trip with a historical focus, the town therefore offers more than the church and its decorative details.
Cycle routes and landscape
The blue-marked, signposted Kashubian-Żuławy Cycle Route passes through Lublewo Gdańskie. It is 55.41 kilometres long. Wolność jest w Naturze, a red-marked, signposted cycle route with a total length of 12.92 kilometres, also passes through the town. The two routes differ both in their marker colour and in their stated length.
If you are comparing cycle routes by total distance, Wolność jest w Naturze is the shorter of the two. At 55.41 kilometres, the Kashubian-Żuławy Cycle Route covers a considerably longer total distance. Both are signposted and pass through Lublewo Gdańskie; the route information helps you choose based on length and marker colour, without implying a particular travel time.
Part of the planned area of Lublewo Gdańskie lies within the Dolina Raduni Landscape Protection Area. This identifies a spatial relationship to the protected area that applies to part of the planned area. The protected historic greenery and this information about the landscape protection area are two distinct aspects that complement each other when exploring the town.
Planning your trip
Lublewo lies on the paved transport route between Gdańsk and Kościerzyna. Together with the church, the protected historic features and the two cycle routes, this gives a concrete picture of the town without reducing it to just one reason to visit. If you would like to explore other places in the same wider locality, Kolbudy Dolne is also part of it.
