Gothic Evangelical-Augsburg church in Pasym. The construction was completed in 1391. Since the Reformation, it has been a Lutheran church. The characteristic shingled cupola-shaped tower was built during the reconstruction of the church after a fire at the end of the 18th century. The main altar is in the late Mannerist style, the Baroque pulpit from 1680, Gothic benches from the 15th century and Mannerist benches from the 17th century, organ from the 18th century.

A bit of gravel, some dirt, a generally good alternative if someone doesn't want to drive on the road with trucks.

The foundation stone for a church was probably laid around 1350, but the construction was only completed in 1391. The church was probably dedicated to St. Barbara and dates back to the Teutonic Order.[1] The current building, however, dates from the last quarter of the 15th century. The tower, sacristy and vestibule were built in the first quarter of the 16th century.[1] The Passenheim church belonged to the Archipresbyterate of Bischofsburg (Polish: Biskupiec). In 1525 the Passenheim pastors committed themselves to the Lutheran Reformation - the church became Protestant. During a major fire in Passenheim in 1583, the church, nine houses and the order's castle were spared. It remained intact even when the Tatars invaded the city on December 19, 1657 because of a wall painting. The pastor at that time was Andreas Hartknoch, the father of the historian Christoph Hartknoch. The spire of the church was badly damaged in the city fire on June 23, 1751. The repair turned out to be complicated because, in addition to the destroyed tower roof, other rotten wooden parts also had to be replaced. The tower was reduced by one floor and received its curved helmet in 1770, which it still wears today.[1] The interior of the nave was redesigned. The process dragged on from 1753 to 1772 due to a lack of money. A sketch dated June 2, 1763 shows the new roof shape and interior of the church. According to Agathon Harnoch, the repairs were carried out between 1765 and 1775. Source: Wikipedia

The most interesting building at the cemetery are the ruins of the Rutkowski family tomb from the mid-nineteenth century. The cemetery is located on the road to Dźwierzuty, behind the mill, at Tartaczna Street.

Ice cream parlor, curly ice cream, scoop ice cream (grycan) and algida and coffee on a stick. Nothing fancy, I recommend it on average.
