Solo in Świdwin: a Gothic castle above the Rega, Bismarck's tower on a hill and two churches, four places to visit on your own.
Świdwin is easy to explore alone, because the castle and one church share Niedziałkowskiego street, while the tower waits on a hill beside the Town Park. For the whole town see attractions in Świdwin, and for trips without company around the region see solo in West Pomerania.
Begin with the castle at number 17. The stronghold stands over the Rega river, it is Gothic, and in the 18th century the Order of St John changed it. After a fire it took six years to rebuild, in the 1960s. The article Świdwin and Białogard: castle, gate and the battle over a cow sets the town's story around it.
At number 2 of the same street is the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help: three aisles, dark brick, an ambulatory and a tower capped with a copper helmet.
The Bismarck Tower reaches 22 metres and went up in 1911 from brick and granite. Visitors do not go inside, so it is a sight for looking at from outside. The neo-Gothic church of St Michael the Archangel from 1927 has a tower added in 1983, which joins two eras.
No, it is closed to visitors. It is seen from outside.
The castle and Our Lady of Perpetual Help are medieval, while the tower and St Michael's church are 20th century.
