Wejherowo

 Wejherowo’s heart beats on the market square with the collegiate church and the town hall from the early 20th century. The “Hall of tradition and history of Wejherowo” in the town hall houses the Kashubian alphabet, which has been created with sgraffito-a technique of wall décor. 

The Calvary of Wejherowo , also called the ‘Kashubian Jerusalem’ or ‘Holy mountains’ is located on a morainal hill covered by beeches. This place of pilgrimage includes 26 stations created on the initiative and funded by Jakub Wejher, the founder of the city of Wejherowo. The Calvary of Wejherowo is the fourth Calvary funded in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which existed from 1569 to 1795. The other three calvaries are located in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska  (near Cracow), Pakość (central Poland) and in the Western Lithuanian region of Samogitia.
