Skarszewy is a city in Pomeranian Voivodeship situated among lakes and forests. The town center features Gothic architecture and medieval stone walls that define its character.

The town received city rights in 1320 and became a base for the Knights Hospitaller. After 1370, it came under Teutonic Order control, shaping the regional history for centuries.

The Church of Saint Michael the Archangel shapes the town's appearance with regional craftsmanship techniques from the medieval period. Visitors can observe in its interior the building details that represent local traditions preserved over centuries.
