About Skolwin
Where to stay in Skolwin
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Szczecin keeps the beds. Skolwin is residential ground of single-family detached homes and tenements with an industrial area of manufacturing buildings alongside, so most visitors book in the city proper and travel out to the North district for the Mścięcino Forest Park and the water. If you want a base by the trees rather than the centre, Skolwin and the smaller neighbourhoods of Babin and Skoki inside it are where to look.
About Skolwin
What are the main landmarks in Skolwin?
The Christ the King church in Szczecin stands in Skolwin, a Roman Catholic parish church first built in the 13th century and then rebuilt and expanded in the second half of the 15th. Its Polish name is Kościół Chrystusa Króla w Szczeciniu. Beyond it the register turns from building to landscape: the Mścięcino Forest Park on the Przęsocin Plateau side, part of the wider Ueckermünde Heath, and the coast of the West Oder along the other edge.
What is the history of Skolwin?
Building began in the 13th century. The Christ the King church in Szczecin was raised then and rebuilt and expanded in the second half of the 15th century, which makes it the oldest thing on record for Skolwin. Detached homes and tenements fill most of the rest, with manufacturing buildings beside them and Babin and Skoki drawn inside the same boundary.
The North district holds it all.
