Wągrowiec, Historical town in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Wągrowiec sits between two lakes and features a network of rivers, creating a water-rich environment in the heart of Greater Poland.
Cistercian monks established the settlement in 1319, which received city rights in 1381 and developed into a significant textile manufacturing center.
The Gothic parish church and Baroque Cistercian monastery demonstrate the architectural evolution of religious buildings throughout the centuries in Wągrowiec.
