Kostrzyn nad Odrą, Border town in western Poland
Kostrzyn nad Odrą stands at the meeting point of the Odra and Warta rivers, creating a strategic position for transportation and commerce between Poland and Germany.
The settlement received its first written mention in 1201, later becoming a fortress controlled by the Knights Templar in 1223 under Duke Władysław Odonic.
The city underwent a significant demographic transformation after 1945 when German residents left and Polish refugees from Soviet-annexed territories established new communities.
Modern Kostrzyn includes an accessible public park containing the foundations of pre-war buildings, with labeled streets and signposts marking historical locations.
The original city center, destroyed during World War II, remains undeveloped, allowing visitors to explore the exposed foundations and cellars of former structures.
