St. John’s Church (Kościół św. Jana) in Słońsk

Highlight • Religious Site

The current Catholic parish church in Sonnenburg (Słonsk) was built as a church of St. John and consecrated in 1508. Since 1550 the knighthood of the Knights of St. John took place in this church. The building, a late Gothic three-aisled hall church with a magnificent star vault, was therefore richly furnished. The interior of the church is characterized by the late Gothic tendril painting of the vault in yellow and green tones with flowers in the middle of the surfaces. The painting was rediscovered and renewed in 1925 under several whitewashes. In the central nave, the tendrils are interrupted by the coats of arms of all 24 master masters since 1305, beginning with the eight-pointed St. John's Cross. The coat of arms of the city of Sonnenburg ends above the organ choir. More than 200 gold-plated keystones in the network of the vault show saints, martyrs, Madonnas, guild signs or images of animals.

The marketplace Sulecin is very centrally located near the St. Nikolaikirche. From here to Lubiewice the R1 runs parallel to the Way of St. James. A large boulder commemorates the 750th anniversary of the city in 1994.

The first palace was built in 1341. From 1545 to 1564, the Order of St. John built a new palace and church. This palace was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Lord Master Johann Moritz of Nassau-Siegen had a new residential palace built from 1662 to 1667.

The palace served as the residence of Lord Master Prince Oskar of Prussia until 1945. It survived the Second World War unscathed, but burned down in 1973 under circumstances that remain unclear. Only the main walls remain.

The R1 cycle path can hardly be described as such. If there is a path next to the road, it is of poor quality.

The railway bridge, which runs over the red stream and over the red bicycle trail (PTTK), is a component of the railway line from Rzepin to Międzyrzecz (from the former Reppen to Meseritz), which physically exists to this day, despite the fact that it is practically closed. Sometimes you can see a handcar passing by here. The last time I saw a 5-car freight train here was in 2020. Even in post-war times, about 200 m west of this bridge, there was a switch, thanks to which rail transport to Gorzów via Lubniewice took place. This place can be easily recognized by observing the widening and subsequent forking of the railway embankment. The railway line from Sulęcin to Gorzów was finally dismantled, and its memento in the immediate vicinity is a railway viaduct over the black bicycle trail (about 150 m north-west of the railway bridge).

It is a great experience to be at the observation point at the Betonka at this time - at the beginning of November. Thousands of birds, including cranes and eagles, inhabit the area between Warthe and Postomia in the Lower Warthe Nature Reserve. It takes barely a few steps to go there, life takes place around you.
You can drive to the observation point (car park there), then you could walk on the Betonka to the next observation tower, if the floods allow it.
Important is warm clothing, as it is always cooler in the reserve because of the location than in the area and the wind blows frequently.

Trzemeszno Lubuskie is a historically rich place. Although it is a small village, besides the so-called Pamiatkowice, you can visit 3 cemeteries, Polish, German and Jewish. You can also visit the cemetery of the German Schnorr family. There is a playground and payroll as well as an elementary school. There are also two ODiDO and Dino stores here. There are also tracks here provided by both military vehicles and the army itself. Since it is a city near a military unit, you can often hear military exercises, see flares at night, and paratroopers during the day. Exercises can be held late into the night, but residents are used to the noise.

The original manor house from the 2nd half of the 18th century. The palace is located in the south-eastern part of the town. The whole is situated on a plot of 52,500 m2. The building was built on a rectangular plan, two-storey, partially basemented with a usable attic. The entrance is preceded by a quadrangular porch with a balcony. In the side elevation (northern), in the right corner there is a cylindrical tower, finished with a terrace and a conical spire, while in the left corner there is a projection with a protruding, separated part of the roof slope. In 1997, the roof covering, window and door joinery were replaced.

October 14, 2024, Lubień Palace Ruins

The palace was an element of the entire farm complex established in the 17th century. The owners were the von Selchow family. The palace was expanded at least three times in the period from the mid-17th century until 1900. It is a large building on a rectangular plan, two-storey, with a basement and an attic. A tower was added in the north-western part. After the war, the palace was managed by the local State Agricultural Farm. Currently, the palace is in private hands. The new owner of the building secured the palace from devastation by replacing the roof covering in 1997, but did not complete the renovation.

The old town square in Sulęcin. The town hall is missing, as it was burned by the Russians at the end of the war and then dismantled to take the bricks to Warsaw. The Fountain of Good Neighbourhood now stands on the site of the town hall.

In the 1990s, a Polish-German agreement on cooperation between border municipalities was signed in Sulęcin. As part of the efforts to achieve reconciliation, the Fountain of Good Neighbourhood was created in the market square in Sulęcin. It was built with the support of the Phare fund and the residents of Beeskow, and the author of the figures is the Gorzów sculptor Zofia Bilińska.

Sulęcin's market square is an open space. A square with benches and a fountain. There is also a Sulęcin bicycle there, which is meant to commemorate the September demonstrations.
