Discover Murowana Goslina

Murowana Goślina offers several ways to explore the town’s history: a historic urban layout, a parish church with several construction phases, and individual historic buildings all shape the character of the place. At the same time, attractions such as Park Dzieje and a cycling ring offer practical starting points for planning your trip.

Local History and Buildings

The historic urban layout of Murowana Goślina was entered in the heritage register of the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The entry was based on a decision dated December 4, 2006, and an amendment decision dated February 12, 2007; the registration number is 410/Wlkp/A. This means that the focus is not just on a single building, but on the town’s historic layout as a whole. For travelers interested in history, this provides a helpful framework for placing individual buildings and their different periods of origin in context.

The parish church of St. James the Apostle (pw. św. Jakuba Apostoła) offers a particularly vivid timeline. It was built in the 14th century; the nave dates from the 15th or 16th century, while the chancel dates from 1717. The church also contains a valuable Renaissance tomb sculpture: a stone tomb slab for Urszula z Ostrorogów Lwowskich Potulicka, made after 1583. The church, its architectural elements, and the tomb slab reflect different historical connections that you can distinguish as you explore the town.

Other dates add to this picture. The palace in Murowana Goślina was built in 1841 for the Winterfeld family and remodeled in the second half of the 19th century. At Rynek, Pl. Powstańców Wlkp. 22, stands a half-timbered house dating from the second half of the 18th century. The historic park is also part of the town’s history: it was laid out in the 19th century and is listed in the heritage register. Together, these details reveal not a single period of construction, but several historical layers—from the house and church to the palace and park. The buildings mentioned here range from religious architecture to residential and palatial buildings.

When looking for suitable accommodation, it may help to first decide what you would like to focus on: are you most interested in the town’s history, including its church, palace, and historic houses, or in Park Dzieje and cycling?
