History
Trzęsacz is a village church, which had been created long time ago next to a manor. At the farm estate situated between two ponds included a castle and a park with a sand hill that was publicly available. The sand hill was a popular viewpoint. Locally, there were up to the Second World War, a dairy and a station of the sea rescue service.
The Baltic Sea shore in the region between Tręsacz ( Hoff ) and Niechorze (Horst ) is exposed to resistant surface washes, which have led in the past centuries a shift in the Baltic Sea shore towards the mainland. The removal of the said sand hill in the castle park was from the upper cliff edge in 1783 still 385 meters, in 1889, however, only 175 meters. The loss of land was thus in 106 years, 210 meters, or about 2 meters per year.
On the 12 meter high grounds on the shore edge Hoff at a late Gothic village church was built in the second half of the 15th century, St. Nicholas Church. This church, which had been in 1805 still 25 meters from the Ostsestrand was threatened by scour through the Baltic Sea and was therefore closed in 1874. 1885 the church roof was covered. In 1901 the church collapsed as a result of sub- washings of the cliff through the Baltic Sea from halfway. Revealing a part of the parish cemetery fell with the sea. The church ruin of Hoff has since been a popular subject for painters and gave as a tourist attraction the village a certain reputation. Lyonel Feininger, who spent his summer vacation on the Baltic Sea regularly 1891-1936, dealt with the church ruins in thirty of his paintings and drawings.
After the old church had been abandoned, a new village church was built at 200 meters, which was awarded the grand altar of the old church. At the end of the Second World War, the new church was damaged. The old altar was relocated and preserved.
At the end of the Second World War, the region was conquered by the Red Army and then - as the whole of Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. If they had not already fled, the German population was expelled after the war due to the so-called Bierut Decrees. The German village Hoff was renamed Trzęsacz.
The manor house was built in neoclassical style today houses a hotel with adjoining equestrian center. The village church has been recently restored. Jewel of the church is the old altar.
2009 cliff fortification was completed below the ruined church, as well as the redesign of systems to the ruins around. In addition to the ruins of a steel bridge was built, which serves as an observation deck and beach access. It is 10.7 meters high and 36.6 meters long from the ruins to the viewing platform.
