Swołowo, Traditional Pomeranian village in Gmina Słupsk, Poland.
Swolowo is a village featuring numerous timber-framed houses with dark beams and light-colored walls arranged around an oval central square. A Gothic church stands at the center of this layout.
The village began in the 13th century under the control of the Joannite knights who governed the area for 200 years. Local development later shaped the settlement's character.
The museum in the village presents crafts and household items from local rural life displayed inside a traditional farmhouse. Visitors can see how people once lived and worked in these spaces.
The village is accessible by car and sits within reach of local roads that connect to larger towns nearby. Accommodations such as small hotels and guesthouses are available in the surrounding area.
Several dozen timber-framed houses with distinctive checkered patterns are between 100 and 150 years old. These structures are so characteristic of the area that the village became known for them.
