Rekowo Górne brings together the palace built in 1871, a renovated park and a location on the edge of Puszcza Darżlubska. When deciding where to travel, architecture, historical landmarks and the landscape are all part of the picture. The palace is not the only point of reference in time: local features include an open settlement from the early Middle Ages, a former Evangelical cemetery and the former palace smithy, now known as the Chapel of St Hubert. When choosing accommodation, you can weigh up whether architectural history, historical traces or the landscape setting will matter most during your stay.

Palace and Regional Architecture

The palace in Rekowo Górne was built in 1871 in an eclectic style inspired by Italian architecture. Eclecticism draws on different architectural styles; the Italian inspiration gives the building a specific architectural character. The palace is also part of the Route of Manor Houses and Palaces of Northern Kashubia. This route places the building in a regional context focused on manor house and palace architecture in Northern Kashubia. For travellers who use architectural history as a criterion when choosing a destination, two aspects are therefore important: the palace’s specific style and its place on a themed route.

Traces of Different Eras

The open settlement from the early Middle Ages provides a much older point of reference alongside the palace dating from 1871. A former Evangelical cemetery survives as a relic; the palace’s former smithy is now known as the Chapel of St Hubert. These two local landmarks tell of past functions in different ways: the cemetery’s Evangelical association remains part of its identity, while the smithy remains connected to the palace through its present-day name as a chapel. In this way, local history extends beyond architectural style and the year of construction to include settlement history, a cemetery and the former use of a smithy. Those interested in different historical periods will find more than a single building here: the early medieval settlement, the former cemetery and the present-day name of the former smithy each offer a different point of focus.

Park and Forest Edge

The renovated park adjoins the palace; the old park surrounding it includes a pond, an island and a picturesque gazebo. These features give the grounds their own landscape character alongside the architecture. Rekowo Górne is also located on the edge of Puszcza Darżlubska. This gives you two different scales to consider when planning a visit: the landscaped park around the palace and the forest edge as the village’s geographical setting. If you take the landscape into account as well as history when choosing a destination, this distinction helps you consider the park and the wider landscape separately.

Accommodation and the Character of Your Stay

The 19th-century palace and the newly built Dworek are designed for relaxation away from the noise of the city. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, this emphasis can help you match the type of accommodation with the character of your trip.
