Wojnowko: Art, Landscape and History

Wojnowko: Art, Landscape and Local History

Wojnowko offers several distinct points of interest: ArtFolwark Wojnowo, with its art and landscape, a restored park, and buildings with their own historical context. The character of the place is not defined by a single theme. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Wojnowko, you can first consider whether art, older architecture or landscape views are of particular interest to you. The different places offer different perspectives and appeal to different interests.

Art and Landscape at ArtFolwark

ArtFolwark Wojnowo is located by a lake and surrounded by fields and forest. These landscape features can be viewed from a panoramic terrace. Together, the water, fields and forest form the setting for this art venue; the view from the terrace adds a perspective on the surroundings. As well as the art, the lakeside setting is another distinctive feature.

ArtFolwark is home to “Pénétrable BBL Bleu,” a permanent spatial installation created in 1999 by Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto. Describing the work as a spatial installation distinguishes it from a single image: it refers to an artistic work in space. Its name, attribution to Soto and the year 1999 give this art feature a specific focus. The installation is described as a permanent part of ArtFolwark; its date is therefore one of its distinctive features, alongside its type of artwork.

Another feature is Stara Stajnia at ArtFolwark. The old stable was converted into an art space for gatherings and creative activities. This is not about one specifically named work, but about the conversion of a building and its intended purpose. Together, the two examples show different sides of the art venue: a permanent installation by Jesús Rafael Soto and a former stable intended for gatherings and creative work. Those interested in the adaptive reuse of older buildings will find a different way to engage with the venue than through the artwork itself.

Castle, Chapel and Park

The castle in Wojnowo dates from the mid-19th century and is named Villa “Mon Repos 1836.” The year is part of the name; the castle itself is dated to the mid-19th century. Another historical point of reference is the Chapel of St. John the Baptist, which an older route description dates to 1914. The description also mentions a road from Wojnowo in the direction of Długa Goślina that passes the chapel. Thus, alongside the historical context, the route description gives a specific direction and names a particular place.

The restored park adds another dimension to the destination, complementing its buildings and art venue. When choosing where to stay, you can consider what matters most to you: the art at ArtFolwark, including the installation and converted stable; the history of the castle and chapel; or the lakeside views. This can help you find a holiday apartment that suits the character of your trip, without reducing the different themes to a single experience.
