On the tourist map
Wejherowo is visited by throngs of pilgrims and tourists and is called
the Holy Mountains or the Jerusalem of Kashubia. The biggest tourist
attraction of Wejherowo is the Calvary of Wejherowo - Sanctuary of The
Passion with a tradition of over 350 years. Located on morainic hills,
the Calvary includes 26 chapels. Under each chapel, there is a handful
of soil from Jerusalem.
The Town Hall is the architectonic landmark of Wejherowo. On the Town
Hall tower, there is a ringing bell founded in 1649 by Jakub Wejher. A
monument to the town’s founder stands in front of the Town Hall. There
is a model of the town’s historical centre, open for the public in the
Town Hall’s room of tradition and history.
One of the oldest historical sights of the town is the St Anna’s
Monasterial Church of Franciscan Friars.
The Collegiate Church was constructed by Jakub Wejher in the years 1643
- 1644. The church is a fine example of late-baroque altars, a rococo
pulpit, a baptismal font and a wrought iron chandelier with the Polish
eagle (18th c.), as well as rich stained glass windows. The Collegiate
Church functions also as a concert hall, where artists, choir groups and
orchestras with religious-cultural programs give performances, and where
organ concerts are held.
Located in the municipal park is the Palace of the Przebendowski and
Keyserlingk families - seat of Pomeranian Literature and Music. The
palace presents its neo-Gothic style with distinct elements of the
Renaissance. The wall paintings discovered during a renovation of the
palace are the most unusual attraction for tourists and a riddle for art
historians. They are in the Pompeian painting style and depict the
charms of nature and architecture of Italy. All rooms of the palace are
covered with polychromy of high artistic value.
Weekend trips
Wejherowo is strategically placed in the vicinity of Gdansk, Gdynia and
Sopot, three beautiful cities called "TriCity", located on the shore of
the Baltic Sea. The most popular seaside resort is probably Sopot, with
its longest wooden pier and busy main pedestrian mall. The sea and a
great number of sports and cultural events make the TriCity a tourist
destination. It lies 20 km from Gdynia with its ferry harbour, 30 km
from the seaside resorts of Jastrzebia Gora and Karwia, and 40 km from
Gdansk airport. Getting to Gdynia, Gdansk and Sopot poses no problem
since Wejherowo is linked by the SKM (fast suburban railway line) and,
in addition, by a highway to Gdansk and Sopot.
Ołowianka is an island in Gdańsk flanked by the Motława river and the
Stępka Channel.
The Oliwa Park is an oasis of beauty and silence in the centre of the
city and an ideal place to regain one’s inner balance and the peace of
mind.
It was modelled on the examples of the Baroque French garden art. The
value of this park is exceptionally high since very rare plants and
flowers coming from almost all continents can be seen here.
The Cleveland Main Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful lighthouses.
However why it has been modeled after the Cleveland lighthouse is still
an enigma.
