For the history enthusiasts
Do you need proof that a vacation in Kadyny is a great idea? What if you discovered that some of Europe's most notable monarchs spent leisure time in the village? The 18th-century baroque palace in Kadyny was taken over by the last German emperor, Wilhelm II, at the turn of the 20th century, who completely restored the complex of buildings. It was one of the Emperor's favorite places on the Baltic Sea coast.
There is much evidence of the close connection between Cadinen and Prussian traditions. One example is a medieval legend telling the story of a princess named Cadinen. According to the legend, she was the founder of a settlement named in tribute to her. Although there is no historical evidence that the princess existed, traces of the proud Prussians can still be seen in the village. Among other things, there is a well-preserved entrance gate to the historic Teutonic manor managed by the Komtur of Elblag. Today, without a doubt, the farm buildings are one of the village's showcases.
Anyone interested in architecture should also visit the Biała Leśniczówka complex. It consists of several well-kept hunting lodges built in 1905 by the order of Emperor Wilhelm II. There you can take part in a tasting of living wines, produced based on the unique Living Water technology.
It is well known that the province of Warmia and Mazury is the heart of the trail of magnificent Gothic castles erected by the Teutonic Knights. Kadyny is an ideal base for exploring the most important monuments of this age. Do not hesitate and take a tour of the fortresses in Kwidzyn, Malbork, or Grudziądz.
The Elblag Upland is famous for the historical presence of the Teutonic Knights in the area. However, it is possible to encounter monuments from much more distant times. An example is the Holy Stone near Tolkmicko, which was carried to the Polish coast by a Scandinavian glacier about 15,000 years ago. Tourists are curious about the size of the stone (circumference 13.8 meters; height 2.2 meters), as well as its historical purpose. According to archaeologists, pre-Slavic civilizations made fish offerings to their gods at this stone.
