Żarnowiec

Żarnowiec is a village in Pomeranian Voivodeship situated near a lake and part of a larger administrative district. The settlement features historic buildings that reflect its past, surrounded by rural landscape.

Religious communities established a monastery here in the 13th century, which served as an important center for centuries. After major upheaval in the 20th century, it was restored and has shaped the place since then.

The monastery has maintained a long connection to religious communities across the centuries, preserving continuity through different periods. These traditions shape how the place looks and feels today.

The village is connected by road to nearby larger towns and offers basic facilities for visitors. The best time to explore is outside the coldest winter months, when the area feels more welcoming.

In the 1980s the village was selected as a potential site for a major industrial energy project, an ambitious plan that was later abandoned. The local community's decision to oppose the proposal significantly influenced what followed.
