Things to do in Człuchów
Człuchów lies between four lakes, and above the town rises the tower of the Teutonic castle, once second in size only to Malbork. The castle houses the Regional Museum, and next to it begins Louise Wood – a park on a former peninsula with a boardwalk across the marshes, named after a Prussian queen. By the market square stands the Baroque St James's Church of 1647, extended at right angles to its old nave in 1926. The town suits a short stop on the way to the Baltic coast or the Tuchola Forest, including with children.
