In 2013, the inhabitants of Skarszewo became famous for an extraordinary feat: they even managed to repeat their own history. They alluded to the events of September 1741. It was then that the Evangelical community in the city got permission to build a Protestant temple.

The Pomeranian voivode at the time, and also the starost of Skarszewo, gave the Evangelicals only one day to carry out the works. They managed! It was then that a half-timbered congregation was established, partly erected on the basis of the city wall. According to reports, some of the wooden structures were secretly built outside Skarszewy, thanks to the help of the inhabitants of Gdańsk.

The church, erected on the night of September 14-15, survived until the 19th century. The temple, called by the inhabitants the "24-hour church", can still be admired today: on the initiative of priest Dariusz Leman, the local parish priest, a replica of the church was built. In the Skarszewski Center for Historical Expositions, you can also see the elements of the church equipment built in 1741: for example candlesticks, a pew or a purse for collecting offerings. And on the anniversary of the historic events - September 14-15, 2013 - the current inhabitants of Skarszewo managed to repeat the feat of their predecessors: it took them exactly 23 hours and 48 minutes! It was possible thanks to the involvement of many enthusiasts, builders and just ordinary residents.
