Lubichowo

Lubichowo is a village in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, serving as the seat of a municipality with a rich history and architecture. The earliest mentions of Lubichowo date back to 1352, and documented traces of settlement reach as far as the 1st century BCE. Situated on the northern edge of the Tuchola Forest, the village is characterized by stylish townhouses from the mid-20th century. The central point of Lubichowo is the Parish Church of St. James the Apostle, built between 1930 and 1931, which replaced an earlier wooden church. Its interior is enriched with Baroque and Rococo furnishings. Nearby lies Lake Lubichowskie, surrounded by unofficial beaches, enhancing the area's tourist appeal. Lubichowo was also home to a Forest District Office with a long and turbulent history, linked to the activities of foresters during World War II, when the area was a site of resistance against the occupiers. During the occupation, partisan units operated here, and in 2006, a monument commemorating the 5th Vilnius Brigade of the Home Army was unveiled. An interesting fact is that Lubichowo is the ancestral home of the Blessed Franciszek Rogaczewski and the Servant of God Stanisław Witta. Additionally, the village offers several educational institutions and a developed economic infrastructure, dominated by trade, services, tourism, and agriculture. Lubichowo combines rich history, attractive architecture, and cultural life, making it an interesting destination on the map of Pomerania.
