Nowe Warpno combines a preserved medieval town layout with a Baroque half-timbered town hall and historic churches. At the entrance to the town, a palace in the French Neo-Renaissance style also stands on the shore of Lake Nowe Warpno. If you are looking for accommodation in Nowe Warpno, you can plan your stay around cultural history, walks by the water, or the routes described here. There are different experiences to choose from: buildings and churches, a lakeside promenade, a cycling route, or a seasonal boat connection.
Town layout and town hall
The medieval town layout is one of Nowe Warpno’s distinctive features. The present-day town hall brings together several architectural features: it was built in 1697 in the Baroque style and using half-timbering. Both the overall building form and the architectural articulation of the façades have been preserved. This makes it possible to distinguish between two scales: the town layout shapes the historic structure of the settlement, while the construction method and façade articulation are specific features of the town hall.
The town hall thus offers a distinct perspective on architectural history, alongside the churches and the palace. Its date of 1697 refers to the construction of the present building; the preserved form and façade articulation describe what has survived of its architecture. Anyone interested in historic building techniques can consider half-timbering and the Baroque style as two related aspects of this building.
Churches with different traces of time
The Church of the Assumption of Mary contains a Baroque altar dating from 1704. The tower and roof have an earlier building history: after a fire in 1692, both were rebuilt in 1693. The dates therefore refer to different parts of the church—the reconstruction of the tower and roof, on the one hand, and the altar, on the other. The church also hosts art exhibitions, organ concerts, and choir performances. If you would like to include an event like this in your stay, check the specific event dates before you travel.
The Church of St. Hubertus in Karszno is also located at the entrance to Nowe Warpno. It was probably built in the second half of the 18th century; the weather vane on the turret bears the date 1793. The construction date is therefore an estimate, while 1793 is the year shown on the weather vane. Weddings and painting exhibitions are occasionally held in the church.
Palace, park, and views of the lake
The palace at the entrance to Nowe Warpno combines a distinctive location on the shore of Lake Nowe Warpno with French Neo-Renaissance architecture. A historic park surrounds the building. From the palace, views extend over Lake Nowe Warpno, the Nowe Warpno Peninsula, and Riether Werder Island. Compared with the Baroque half-timbered town hall, the palace offers a different architectural perspective; the park and the views add landscape and water to the architectural setting.
Promenade, cycle path, and seasonal connection
The promenade and the cycle path differ in their use and length. In 2015, a half-kilometre-long promenade opened as a walking route along the southern shore of the Nowe Warpno Peninsula. The cycle path is 3.41 kilometres long and follows an old railway embankment from ul. Polna to provincial road 114, ul. Szczecińska. This provides two distinct ways to spend time outdoors: a waterside walking route and a dedicated cycling route.
Another route passes through Nowe Warpno and connects the town with other stops in the Puszcza Wkrzańska area. If you plan to follow this route, check the current conditions locally. A seasonal boat connection also links Nowe Warpno with the German town of Altwarp. Check the seasonal boat timetable before you travel.
A stay shaped around your interests
These different themes can be taken into account when planning your stay without combining them into a fixed daily itinerary. You can look for a hotel in Nowe Warpno to suit how you would like to balance cultural history and time outdoors.
The 23rd Święto Leszcza took place on 22 August 2026 in Nowe Warpno. This edition was part of a project promoting local fishing traditions and the cultural heritage of the local community. Exhibitors could present local products, handicrafts, and regional produce.
