Chartów combines a half-timbered church in the village with a hill and memorial to the north. Chartów is also a stop on a 34.7-kilometre route through several places. These different scales can help you choose the focus of your trip: architectural history in the village, a monument in the nearby area, or Chartów as a stop on a longer tour. For your planning, it is worth keeping the three aspects separate, as the church, the hill with its obelisk and the route are distinct destinations.

Church and local history

The Church of the Transfiguration (Przemienienia Pańskiego) is in Chartów. It is a half-timbered building from the 19th century, dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Lord (Przemienienia Pańskiego) and included in the register of historic religious buildings. The half-timbered construction, dedication and register entry describe different aspects of the building: its construction, religious affiliation and heritage status. This makes it possible to connect the village’s cultural history with a specific religious dedication. The church is currently not in use and has been undergoing renovation for several years. Check its current status before visiting. When planning your visit, current use matters alongside its heritage status.

Hill and obelisk

A hill 68.9 m high rises one kilometre north of Chartów. At its foot is an obelisk commemorating a group of six paratroopers from the Ludowe Wojsko Polskie (Polish People’s Army). The details clarify the location of the memorial: the distance and direction refer to the hill in relation to Chartów, while the obelisk stands at the foot of the hill. This distinguishes the nearby site from the church in the village. Those interested in landscape and memorial culture will find here a combination of a specific geographical feature and a named commemorative occasion.

Route and directions

A travel account published in 2025 describes a route of 34.7 kilometres taken in 2023. The route passes through Słońsk, Ujście Warty, Chartów, Ośno Lubuskie, Sienno and Radów; in the stated order, Chartów comes between Ujście Warty and Ośno Lubuskie. The village is therefore one of several stops. A GPX track is available to download for the route. If you include the route in your plans, you can compare the track with the listed sequence of places. The 34.7 kilometres refers to the entire route through these places.

Another point of reference is the road towards Ośno Lubuskie, which runs through Chartów. This complements the sequence of places on the route with a second, road-based direction.

A dated sporting connection

The sports ground also has a clearly dated place in the village’s history: the sixth Agrafka Cup football tournament took place there in 2009. The event offers a different perspective on Chartów from the church and obelisk, as it relates to a specific local sporting occasion rather than architectural or memorial culture. When planning a trip, it can provide historical context and help you see the village through more than just its architecture and landscape.
