Jezioro w Ostrowcu: Landscape and Leisure

Jezioro w Ostrowcu is a 47-hectare ribbon lake and the largest glacial lake in the municipality of Malechowo. The area figure describes the size of the lake; the ranking refers to the comparison within the municipality. This gives you a specific sense of the local natural feature. The recreational facilities on the shore include a ship-shaped playground and outdoor fitness equipment. This means two different forms of leisure are available at the same lake. As recreational facilities may change, check their current condition before your visit.

Church and Architectural History

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Ostrowiec dates from the 15th century. It is a single-nave building made of brick and stone. “Single-nave” describes a layout with one main nave; together with the date and building materials, this provides a brief architectural overview. The date, layout and material answer different questions: when the church was built, how its structure is arranged and what it is made of.

Palace and Memorial Plaque

The palace in Ostrowiec is a brick building and is listed in the register of monuments and monument lists. Different architectural features stand out in comparison with the church: the palace is described as brick, while the church is made of brick and stone and dates from the 15th century. This offers a specific way to explore the architectural history of the area without reducing the two buildings to the same feature.

As of August 6, 2019, the memorial plaque to the fallen was located east of the church, between the Stenzl family tombstones. This location connects the memorial site to the church and specifies its position in relation to the family’s tombstones.
