Which architectural monuments should you see in Trzęsacz?
The church ruins by the sea, the new church by the provincial road and the palace inland. The first two belong to the same story, while the palace is a separate monument viewed from the outside.
The Ruins of the church in Trzęsacz are what is left of the Gothic church of St Nicholas, a single south wall beside a cliff that the sea wore away over centuries. The Church of Divine Mercy in Trzęsacz at Pałacowa 3 went up in 1880 once the cliff-side church was shut, and was restored in 2003; it has a Baroque altar from 1673. The Palace in Trzęsacz at Kamieńska 9 is an eighteenth-century brick house inside a privately owned manor and farm complex, so it can only be viewed from outside.
The history of the ruins is covered in the article Church ruins of the region.
