Things to do in Maszewo: a brick town hall with a memorial room, a Gothic parish church, a former hospital chapel and the Energy Museum.
Maszewo is a small town in Goleniów county, and sightseeing takes one afternoon. It suits visitors who like brick monuments and prefer quiet, modest places to big attractions.
The centre is a market square with the town hall and the parish church, and a former chapel stands nearby. It is easy to cover on foot, starting from the town hall.
Ratusz w Maszewie (Town Hall) at Plac Wolności 2 stands in the buildings of the market square, on the north side of the church. The present brick building was raised in 1821-1827. A memorial room works in the cellar, and a former treasury is there too. Kościół Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej w Maszewie (Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa) on Mickiewicza Street is a Gothic stone and brick parish church built from the end of the 13th to the mid-15th century. It has neo-Gothic furnishings from the 1860s and a medieval crucifix. Both appear in the set of architecture in Maszewo.
Kościół św. Alberta Chmielowskiego w Maszewie (St Albert Chmielowski Church) on Stargardzka Street is a former chapel of St George from the second half of the 15th century. It stood outside the town walls and belonged to a leper hospital. It has buttresses and a gable decorated with blind windows.
Społeczne Muzeum Energetyki w Maszewie (Community Energy Museum) gathers large collections of tools, accessories and electrical fittings linked to the old work of power engineers. It is housed in the seat of the company Enea Pomiary, not in a separate building. The museum is tagged for rainy days. Some places in town also carry the Solo tag.
There are two places of remembrance of a factual character: a cemetery and a monument.
Cmentarz żydowski w Maszewie (Jewish cemetery) was founded after 1812 on Stargardzka Street, and the last burial took place in 1933. The site was listed as a monument in 2018. Pomnik poległych w I wojnie światowej mieszkańców Maszewa (First World War memorial) is a modernist brick monument from 1926 on the outskirts, renovated in 1993.
Start at Plac Wolności: the town hall and the parish church stand side by side, so you see both at once. Then walk along Stargardzka Street to the former chapel of St George, near which the Jewish cemetery also lies. Leave the energy museum for last, as it is the best plan for rain. The monument from 1926 stands on the outskirts, so go there by bike or car. The whole route takes one afternoon.
