Church, sanctuary and works of art
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Lubiszewo was built in 1348 and has been the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Consolation since 1997. A statue of Our Lady of Consolation dating from 1380 is venerated at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Consolation in Lubiszewo Tczewskie. The church’s main altar is adorned with a Gothic sculpture of the Holy Trinity dating from 1420.
The dates highlight different milestones: 1348 marks the construction of the church, 1380 the venerated statue of the Virgin Mary, and 1420 the Gothic sculpture on the main altar. Together, they provide concrete points of reference for the history of the sanctuary. The pilgrimage tradition is also part of the place’s character: Lubiszewo has been a destination for pilgrims for centuries. The sanctuary is also part of the Szlak Sanktuariów Maryjnych Pomorza, the Marian Shrines Trail in Pomerania. When planning your trip, this distinction can help you choose between a stay focused on church art and one that puts the pilgrimage tradition first.
The medieval history of the castle complex
Alongside the church, the castle complex points to another historical period. It was established in Lubiszewo before 1198. From 1229 to 1253, it was the seat of Sambor II, the independent Duke of Lubiszewo-Tczew. The early date and its later role as a ducal seat mark two different stages in the town’s history. This means Lubiszewo can be understood not only through its religious significance, but also through its medieval political history.
Hiking trails and the route towards the Rokickie Lakes
Hiking enthusiasts also have a clear route to follow: the yellow-marked Kociewski Trail is about 80 kilometres long and passes through Lubiszewo. From the village, the trail runs alongside Lake Rokickie. The approximate total length describes the trail as a longer route; when considering Lubiszewo, it is most useful to note that the trail passes through the village and continues alongside the lake.
The green-marked Roman Klim Trail runs from Tczew via Szpęgawa and Stanisławie to Lubiszewo. From the village, it follows the yellow markings towards the lake area of the Rokickie Lakes. From there, it continues towards Śliwiny and reaches Waćmierek. The two trails differ in the waypoints mentioned here: the Kociewski Trail is described by its approximate length and Lake Rokickie, while the Roman Klim Trail is described by its sequence of named places and its continuation to Waćmierek.
Plan your stay around your interests
When looking for a holiday apartment in Lubiszewo Tczewskie, you can start by deciding what interests you most: would you like to focus on the church, its works of art and the pilgrimage tradition, or are you mainly interested in finding your way along the marked trails? Both are part of the place’s character, but they offer different perspectives on your stay. The routes mentioned give you specific names and directions, while the dates associated with the church and castle complex provide a timeline for exploring Lubiszewo’s history.
