A cycling route follows a cycle path along Strużańska Street and via Józefów to Kąty Węgierskie. The village is also associated with a chapel dating from the early 1990s, archaeological settlement traces, and memories of funerals and military events. This gives you two distinct perspectives for planning your trip: a specifically described cycling route and several historical topics that belong to different periods. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, these highlights can help you tailor your stay to your interests.
A chapel from more recent times
A two-storey brick chapel stands at 57 Strużańska Street/Kościelna Street. Its semicircular niche is enclosed with coloured panes and contains a figure of the Virgin Mary. The present-day chapel was built in the early 1990s. Its two-storey design, brickwork and colourful niche make it readily distinguishable as a building from the archaeological settlement traces. For anyone wishing to place religious architecture in the context of local history, it provides a reference point from more recent times.
Archaeological traces from two periods
Kąty Węgierskie is associated with three archaeological settlement traces. Site 1 is dated to antiquity and has the designation 53-66/42. Site 2 dates to the Early Bronze Age and has the designation 53-66/43; another Early Bronze Age trace is recorded as Site 3, designation 53-66/44. The two Early Bronze Age sites belong to the same period; Site 1 provides a different historical reference point, dating to antiquity.
The cross and funeral customs
A brick cross stands on a plot of land on Kościelna Street, opposite the GOK. Before the Second World War, a wooden cross stood in the same place. The residents of Kąty Węgierskie prayed there on their way to a funeral. The deceased were then taken to the church in Nieporęt and afterwards to the cemetery. Praying at the cross was therefore part of a sequence that led from the journey to the funeral, through the church, and on to the cemetery.
Military memorial sites
The grave of an unknown soldier is located in the forest in Kąty Węgierskie. It possibly dates from 1939 and is point 33 on the black Szlak Polski Walczącej trail. According to the museum report, infantry under the command of Lieutenant Stefan Pogonowski spent a night at a road junction on a sharp bend in Kąty Węgierskie, about 115 years before the report was written, waiting for orders.
