St. Martin's Church in Tolkowiec

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of St. Martin in Tolkowiec is a Gothic temple built in the late 14th century, which is today one of the most interesting religious monuments in the region. The building was built of stone and brick, and its shape was rebuilt many times, including after the destruction of the Polish-Teutonic wars and in the 19th century, when a neo-Gothic tower was added. It is worth paying attention to the preserved Gothic eastern gable with characteristic blind windows and a unique onion-shaped window. The church is located on the Green Velo bicycle route.

High Gate (Wysoka Brama) in Lidzbark Warmiński

Highlight • Historical Site

This late-gothic building, erected in 1352 (other sources mention the years 1466-78), is the only one of the three gates that led to the town at that time. Two other gates, Dobromiejska and Młyńska, unfortunately, have not survived to our times, the aforementioned High Gate has also survived only in a fragmentary form because it is exactly a foregate. There used to be a barbican at the foregate, which was removed in 1868, and despite the fact that the gate did not survive in its original shape, it still pretends to be the most monumental building of this type in Warmia and Masuria, representing the Gothic style. It is classified as a first-class monument for a reason.

It was built of red brick, it is four-storey, there are two semicircular towers on the sides, they are connected by the main gate body with the central part of the ground floor, i.e. the pointed passage.

The gate had various functions, incl. it was a modern bastion adapted to artillery fights at that time. This is evidenced by the year 1520, when during the siege it was a place of sharp fire exchange. It was in memory of these events that stone spheres were built into the walls in various places. In 1850, the upper part was rebuilt, and in 1868 the whole was taken over by the state authorities, including a court arrest, which functioned until the end of World War I. It is from this period that the characteristic blinds, i.e. bricked up windows, come from. It is a pity that this building, which is comparable to other objects of this type in Poland, is devoid of sightseeing. Its charms can only be admired from the outside.

December 1, 2024,🇵🇱 Etappe 2: Frombork bis Lidzbark Warmiński über Braniewo – Green Velo

Cycling in winter feels like you're cycling all day into the sunrise or sunset. And in a way, that's true. At 7.45 am, I'm sitting on my saddle just in time for the rising fireball, and I even skip breakfast for it. After all, I want to use all the light available to enjoy the beautiful landscape in Warmia-Masuria.
