Things to do in Turzyn, Szczecin: former technical school buildings, a modernist church, a park on an old cemetery and a play room for children.
Turzyn is a district of technical university buildings, so a walk here leads mostly from one building to the next. There is also a park with remains of an old cemetery, a Jesuit church and a place for an outing with a child, and on a green stands a bench figure of a famous inventor.
Two, both from the early 20th century and both still tied to the university. They stand not far apart, so the district can be seen in an hour.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering building of ZUT at 37 Sikorskiego Street is an Art Nouveau structure from 1900-1901, formerly the Royal School of Machine Building. Stara Chemia (Old Chemistry) at 10 Pułaskiego Street is a brick building from 1902-1904, a former school of building trades, which has housed the university's chemistry faculty since 1947. On the green named after him stands the Michał Doliwo-Dobrowolski bench, a bronze monument unveiled on 10 June 2022 that recalls the designer of the three-phase induction motor. It suits this district of technicians and engineers well.
The Turzyn Cemetery is now a park on the site of a necropolis used in 1848-1928, with a piece of wall and gate and old trees. It has a graver background, so visit it quietly. The Church of St Andrew Bobola on Pocztowa Street is a modernist building from 1932-1933, built for Protestants and, since 2020, a shrine run by Jesuits. Parents with children can use SensoKraina, a sensory play room with workshops and birthday parties.
Start at the building on Sikorskiego Street, move on to Stara Chemia on Pułaskiego, then turn towards the park on the former cemetery. The church on Pocztowa Street closes the route. All the places lie in one district, so you need no transport, and on the way you can step into the play room if you walk with a child. The walk is calm and also fits a short free evening. If you have more time, split it over two days: one for the buildings and the bench figure, the other for the park and the church.
The two university buildings and the bench figure, and at the end the park on the old cemetery grounds.
They are working university buildings, so they are easiest to see from outside.
To the SensoKraina sensory room, which carries the family and rainy-day tags.
The bench figure and the park, as both carry the free tag. The whole Turzyn district is well suited to a walk.
