Glacial troughs filled with water of the lake are a characteristic element of the local terrain. The highest hill in the Starogard Gdański commune is 127.6 ASL, which is located in the Sumin area. The urban planning largely dates from the c. 1908, when a Prussian colonization committee made the division and settlement of a landed estate.
