Owińska, Village in Poznań County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The village stretches along the Warta River banks, surrounded by agricultural fields and forests in the northern section of Poznań County.

During World War II, the village contained a mental hospital where Nazi forces executed approximately 1,000 patients through systematic operations in 1939.

The former Cistercian convent building stands as a central architectural element, now functioning as an educational institution for visually impaired students.

Located 12 kilometers north of Poznań, the village connects to major urban areas through regular train services on the Poznań-Wągrowiec railway line.

The village contains 28 marked mass graves in the nearby forest, preserving the memory of victims from the hospital murders during German occupation.

Location: Gmina Czerwonak
