Rogowo brings together a protected English oak, traces of a former manor farm and a red cycling route that passes through the village. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Rogowo, these highlights can help you choose: natural features, local history or cycling can shape your stay.
Nature and green features of the village
The English oak “JAN” is protected as a natural monument; its trunk circumference measures 685 centimetres at breast height. The regulation of 16 October 2020 records its protected status and measurement. Near the former manor farm stands a group of old oaks, including one tree with a circumference of 620 centimetres. The natural heritage ranges from a singly named tree to a prominent specimen within a group of oaks. There is a small park in the northern part of Rogowo. The 19th-century manor park lies next to the manor house and contains specimens of European beech, English oak and elm. The park trees broaden the focus on oaks to include European beech and elm.
Manor house, manor farm and remembrance
A ruined manor house dating from the late 19th century stands in the northern part of Rogowo. A barn and a cowshed dating from the late 19th century remain from Rogowo’s former manor farm. The manor house and farm buildings provide different architectural points of reference for the village’s history.
A large memorial stone in the manor park commemorates the village residents who fell in the First World War. A report by the State Forests dated 14 July 2020 recorded the establishment of a new rest area next to the stone. The condition of the rest-area facilities may change; check before your visit. The memorial stone and the rest area offer different points of interest: remembrance of the fallen and a designated place to rest.
Cycling route and local orientation
For cyclists, the red “Po drumlinach Ziemi Stargardzkiej” route is a specific point of interest: it passes through Rogowo. A road in the village runs parallel to the Ina riverbed. The route passes through Rogowo, while the road description provides a point of reference along the riverbed. This gives the village a connection to a named cycling route as well as a clear local point of reference.
Stargard: a distinct cultural setting
The wider destination of Stargard offers its own urban cultural highlights. Stargard’s Church of St Mary and medieval town walls were recognised as a “Monument of History” by a regulation of the President of the Republic of Poland dated 17 September 2010. The town walls are among the few examples of medieval fortifications in West Pomerania that have survived almost along their entire length, with defensive gates and bastions. This scale differs from Rogowo’s individual natural monuments and traces of its manor farm.
A museum exhibition in Stargard presents the city’s history from its foundation in the 13th century to the beginning of the 18th century. The “Stargard – Jewel of Pomerania” walking route runs through the Old Town and is about three kilometres long. The exhibition and the walking route have different focuses: the exhibition covers the city’s history over several centuries, while the route describes a circuit of the Old Town and gives its approximate length. The historical festival “In the Land of the Griffin” is intended for families, history enthusiasts and people who would like to spend an active weekend in June.
