Rogowo: Old Oaks, Manor Park and Cycling Route

Old Oaks and the Manor Park

The pedunculate oak “JAN” stands in Rogowo and is protected as a natural monument. Its trunk circumference at breast height is 685 centimetres. Its protected status and measurements were recorded in an ordinance dated 16 October 2020. The tree is therefore a striking natural landmark for anyone who wants to take a closer look at individual trees and their dimensions during a stay.

Northern Rogowo also offers opportunities to explore the village’s green landscape: a small park is located there. Next to the manor house is the 19th-century manor park, where red beeches, pedunculate oaks and elms grow. A group of old oaks also stands near the former manor farm. One of them has a trunk circumference of 620 centimetres. Together, these details show different facets of Rogowo’s trees without needing to group them into a single site.

Manor House, Manor Farm and Remembrance

A derelict manor house dating from the late 19th century stands in the northern part of Rogowo. A barn and a cowshed from the same period remain from the former manor farm. The manor house and farm buildings offer different ways to explore the village’s architectural history: the manor house on the one hand, and the surviving farm buildings on the other. They are specific destinations to include in your plans if you are interested in historic buildings and their different functions.

A large memorial stone in the manor park commemorates the village residents who fell in the First World War. A new rest area was set up beside the stone; this was reported on 14 July 2020. The memorial stone thus connects the park landscape with the remembrance of Rogowo’s residents. The rest area is an additional point of reference in this context.

The village’s layout also relates to the landscape: a road in Rogowo runs parallel to the Ina riverbed.

Explore Rogowo by Bike and Choose It as a Destination

The red “Po drumlinach Ziemi Stargardzkiej” cycling route passes through Rogowo. If you include the route in your travel plans, you can consider it a way to explore the village in its own right, alongside the trees, manor park and historic buildings. The route places Rogowo in a cycling-tour context, while the sights described here also offer topics for exploring the village itself.

Rogowo can therefore be considered as a destination through a range of specific features: a natural monument and old oaks, the manor park and manor farm, a memorial stone and a cycling route. A road running parallel to the Ina riverbed adds another point of reference. You can weigh these details according to your own interests when planning, without needing to follow a particular order or set itinerary.

Stargard as a Separate, Broader Destination

The broader destination of Stargard focuses on urban culture and history. St. Mary’s Church and Stargard’s medieval town walls were recognized as monuments of history by an ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland dated 17 September 2010. The town walls are among the few examples of medieval fortifications in West Pomerania preserved almost along their entire length, complete with defensive gates and bastions. A museum exhibition in Stargard explores the city’s history from its founding in the 13th century to the beginning of the 18th century.

A walking route also offers a different perspective on Stargard: “Stargard – Jewel of Pomerania” runs through the Old Town and is about three kilometres long. Rogowo and Stargard thus offer different themes for trip planning: Rogowo focuses, among other things, on its natural monument, manor park and manor history; Stargard offers the city-history landmarks mentioned above and the Old Town walking route. This distinction can help you choose a destination based on the experiences that interest you most for your trip.
