Składowice: Discover village history and trails
Accommodation in Składowice
Składowice brings together traces of history and named trails through the area. When planning your trip to Poland, you can therefore explore the village through both its architectural and local history and its various routes. Each sight tells its own story: from a small church to the life of Johann Jonston and the rural settlement pattern.

Church and local history
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a small, contemporary single-nave church with a rectangular floor plan. It has no separate chancel, and the building has no tower. This clear description makes the church a specific architectural point of reference as you explore Składowice’s history and built heritage.
The interior also features a distinctive detail: it is surrounded by three-dimensional Stations of the Cross. This sets the church apart not only for its floor plan and exterior form, but also for its interior design. The church is a filial church of the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Mleczno.
The physician, naturalist and historian Johann Jonston is associated with Składowice Castle; he lived there. A chestnut-lined avenue runs along the road leading from the south to the castle-park-manor complex. Together, these details offer different points of connection for exploring Składowice’s past and landscape.
The historical perspective extends beyond individual buildings. Składowice has a historic rural settlement pattern with archaeological layers. If you are interested in local history, you can look beyond the church and castle to the settlement pattern that developed over time. The municipal cemetery and its boundary wall date from 1925 and today serve as the cemetery of the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Mleczno.
Forest trail, nature trail and cycling route
Three different types of routes are named for active exploration. The green forest trail passes through Bolesławiec, Chocianów, Lisiec, Krzeczyn Wielki, Lubin, Składowice, Toszowice, Stara Rudna, Rozłogi, Miłogoszcz, Górki and Chobienia. Składowice is therefore part of a longer route. If you are planning a trip, check the current route in advance.
A nature trail highlighting places of natural interest connects Siedlce, Księginice and Składowice. The blue cycling route around Lubin also passes through Składowice and Zalesie. Comparing them can help you choose the right focus: the forest trail is defined by its route through several places, the nature trail by its focus on nature, and the cycling route by cycling. These descriptions offer different planning cues, so you do not have to treat the three trails as one and the same route.
The routes differ not only in name, but also in what they highlight. If you want to place Składowice along a longer route, the green forest trail is a good starting point. If you are mainly interested in natural sites, the nature trail offers a different focus; if you are planning a cycling trip, the blue cycling route is the obvious choice. Check the current route before setting out.
