Nowogródek Pomorski can be explored through three historical themes: the Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland with its old cemetery, the Folwark Sumiak manor landscape and the ruins of a Dutch tower windmill. They belong to different periods and have distinct landmarks. For travelers interested in architectural history, they offer points of connection ranging from sacred architecture to the history of parks and a technical structure.

Church and cemetery: medieval origins, later reconstruction

The Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland in Nowogródek Pomorski is an early Gothic granite church with Baroque windows and a tower; it is a registered historic monument. Its construction history began in the second half of the 13th century, and it was rebuilt in 1752. The church grounds also contain the cemetery, which likewise dates from the second half of the 13th century. Two examples from the same medieval period thus stand together here, while the church building also reflects a later phase of construction. If you would like to place the town’s history in chronological context, the contrast between its medieval origins and its 18th-century reconstruction is a helpful point of reference.

Folwark Sumiak: park and manor house

Northeast of Nowogródek Pomorski, along Barlinecka Street, lies the Folwark Sumiak manor-park-farmstead complex. It is situated on both sides of the road to Barlinek. The manor park of the former Folwark Sumiak lies northwest of the manor house and north of the road to Barlinek; it dates from the first half of the 19th century. The manor house at 13–14 Barlinecka Street dates from the late 19th century.

These details offer two ways to orient yourself: the complex is located in relation to the town and the road to Barlinek, while the park and manor house are distinguished by their positions relative to one another. They also represent different periods: the park dates from the first half of the 19th century, and the manor house from the late 19th century. Those interested in the historic cultural landscape should therefore not reduce Folwark Sumiak to the manor house; the park is a distinct part of the picture.

Windmill ruin and local history

The ruins of a Dutch tower windmill date from the mid-19th century. They lie southeast of the town, on the south side of the road to Karsko. This is a different landmark from Folwark Sumiak: for the mill, the key points are its location to the southeast and the road to Karsko; for the manor park, they are its location to the northeast and the road to Barlinek. This comparison helps place the mill as a distinct focus of local history.

Nowogródek Pomorski was founded on the historic trade route between Gorzów and Szczecin, and the town’s historic spatial layout has been preserved. This broadens the picture beyond individual buildings: the trade route is part of the town’s founding history, while the preserved layout shapes its character. The range of periods is also clear: the church and cemetery date back to the second half of the 13th century, the park and windmill date from the 19th century, and the manor house dates from its later period. Sacred architectural history, a manor park and a mill ruin thus represent different eras and themes.
