The village of Swołowo, located in the Słupsk municipality, is one of the most interesting Kashubian villages in Pomerania and is hailed as the capital of the “Checkered Land”. There are 70 timber-framed buildings still inhabited. Swołowo is a rare type of square village, called oval village, with a pond in the middle, creating a modern open-air museum. There are 15 museum objects here, located in three different places in the village. A monument worth seeing is the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the beginning of the 17th century. It is also necessary to visit the magnificent farmstead of the Albrecht family, who lived here since the 16th century. Buildings and farmsteads in this area were constructed with a skeleton of wooden beams lubricated with black tar. The walls were filled with clay mixed with chaff, sawdust and shavings.
