Architecture in Czaplinek: a town hall from 1845, a church designed by Schinkel and a small fieldstone church on a hill, three monuments in the centre.
Czaplinek on Lake Drawsko has several buildings from different centuries in its centre. The set is short but shows three styles: brick, Neoclassicism and medieval fieldstone. The wider town is described in things to do in Czaplinek, and a broader selection in architecture in West Pomerania.
The town hall faces the market square, and both churches stand next to each other in the upper part of town. Distances are tiny, so a full round takes only a short while.
The Town Hall in Czaplinek at Rynek 6 went up in 1845. It is a brick building of two storeys with a red roof and the town arms over the door. At Moniuszki 26a stands the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Czaplinek, whose Greek-cross plan was prepared by Karl Friedrich Schinkel; work started in 1829. Twenty numbers further along rises the Church of the Holy Trinity in Czaplinek, low and built of field boulders around 1400 on the rise where a stronghold once stood. Local people call it the little church.
