Things to do in Koszewo: Lake Miedwie, a palace with a viewing tower on a ridge, and a stone church with a 15th-century defensive tower.
Koszewo lies in Stargard municipality, on Lake Miedwie. The water, the palace and the church stand close together, making a short route for lovers of views and historic buildings.
Miedwie is the main reason to visit: a lake with bathing places and a cycling route around it.
Miedwie lies in the south-eastern part of the Szczecin Coastland, on the Pyrzyce Plain. Wikipedia gives its area as 35.27 square kilometres, which ranks fifth among Polish lakes, and calls it the country's largest cryptodepression. Around it are bathing areas, holiday centres and a cycling route.
Pałac w Koszewie (Palace in Koszewo), at number 23, is an eclectic residence from 1914-1916 on a high ridge above the lake. It has a viewing tower and was once the residence of Friedrich Paulus. It is private property, so do not expect to go inside.
Kościół Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP w Koszewie (Church of the Immaculate Conception) is a stone church from the 15th century, built of fieldstone. It has a defensive tower with blind arcades on the west side and a Baroque chapel of the Oesterling family. It is a branch of the parish in Warnice and stands near the palace.
With 35.27 square kilometres it ranks fifth among Polish lakes by area, and it is also the country's largest cryptodepression.
The palace is private property, so entry inside is not assured. The 15th-century church stands nearby.
