Staniewice – Half-timbered Houses, Church History and Routes
Accommodation in Staniewice
Staniewice combines a strong half-timbered building tradition with connections to hiking, cycling and kayaking around the Wieprza. Two distinct interests therefore come to the fore when planning your trip: historic village architecture and routes that vary depending on how you choose to travel. St. Michael the Archangel Church and the half-timbered houses give the village’s architectural history a tangible focus; the routes offer further ways to explore Staniewice and its surroundings.

Half-timbered Houses and Church History
Most of Staniewice’s half-timbered buildings have been preserved in the western part of the village. There are 19 half-timbered houses in all. The village’s architectural character is therefore not limited to a single building, but encompasses several houses. If you are interested in historic architecture, you can combine this focus with the routes and water activities also associated with Staniewice.
St. Michael the Archangel Church dates from 1770 and is a half-timbered building. It is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. Its Gothic tower dates from the time of the first church in the 15th century. The building thus brings together the church built in 1770 and the older tower from the time of the first church. The side doors have Baroque wrought-iron handles. An old lock at the church bears the inscription “Ernest Hartcke and Johann Hartcke, Rügenwalde†and the year 1771. A remnant of a monument stands west of the church.
Exploring on Foot and by Bike
The green hiking trail from Ustka to SÅ‚awno passes through Staniewice. Its named endpoints provide a reference for anyone considering a longer route through several places as part of their trip. The information describes the route through Staniewice, but does not specify a particular walking time or distance. When choosing a trip, you can therefore start by deciding whether you would prefer to walk the hiking trail or use one of the cycling routes described here.
The yellow cycling route runs for 17.6 kilometres within Postomino Municipality. The yellow route goes from Tyń to Staniewice, following a stretch along the Wieprza River. This provides both a specific distance for the cycling route within the municipality and a described route to the village. The figure refers to the stretch within the municipality; on its own, it does not indicate the duration or difficulty.
The Wieprza and Nearby Waters
There is a landing stage and recreation area for the kayaking route on the Wieprza in Staniewice. A scenic kayaking route for river trips also runs along the Wieprza within Postomino Municipality. When planning your trip, you can choose between hiking, cycling and exploring by water. The information about the kayaking route relates to river trips; it complements the land routes described here with a separate activity.
The Moszczeniczka stream is also part of the local waterscape. It flows north of the village and joins the Wieprza in the vicinity of Staniewice. The historic transport route between Darłowo and Słupsk provides another point of reference for the village’s location. Together, these offer different starting points for a stay: half-timbered houses and church history, routes through Staniewice, and routes and waterways within the municipality.
If you are considering Staniewice as a destination, these differences can guide your decision: would you prefer to focus on village architecture, a hiking or cycling route, or the kayaking route on the Wieprza?
