Margonin

Margonin extends across 5.15 square kilometers and contains residential neighborhoods, administrative buildings, and a central market square at coordinates 52.97°N 17.08°E.

The settlement originated as a defensive stronghold between the 9th and 12th centuries, received town privileges in 1402, and underwent multiple territorial changes during the partitions of Poland.

The town preserves its medieval urban layout with a Catholic church that underwent repairs in the 18th century after sustaining damage from severe weather.

The municipality connects to surrounding regions through the railway line between Gołańcz and Chodzież, established in 1908, facilitating transportation for its 3,000 residents.

The marriage ceremony of Józef Wybicki, who wrote the lyrics of Poland's national anthem, took place in Margonin in 1773.
