Wapno, Rural village in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
The village of Wapno stands 23 kilometers northeast of Wągrowiec and 68 kilometers from the regional capital Poznań in the Gniezno Lake District.
The first documented mention of Wapno dates to 1299 when Count Adam of Wapno appeared in court regarding rights of the Cistercian monastery in Łękno.
The village name Wapno translates to lime in Polish, reflecting the substantial gypsum deposits that supplied material for cathedrals in Gniezno and Poznań.
The settlement maintains postal services under code 62-120 and operates within the UTC+01:00 timezone, switching to UTC+02:00 during daylight saving periods.
A catastrophic collapse of the Tadeusz Kościuszko salt mine in 1977 forced approximately 1,000 residents to evacuate their homes permanently.
