Jasienica, Quarter in Police, Poland
Jasienica is a quarter in the northern part of Police, a town in northwestern Poland, lying along a regional road that leads away from the city center toward the north. The settlement sits in a flat, open landscape close to the Gunica River and is made up mostly of residential buildings.
The settlement dates back to somewhere between the 9th and 12th centuries, making it one of the older inhabited places in this part of the region. An Augustinian monastery was founded here around 1330, and the church that served it was built during the 14th century before being largely rebuilt in 1725 after suffering damage.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, built in the 14th century, stands at the center of the settlement and is easy to spot by its plain brick walls. Locals still use it regularly, and it remains a reference point for community life in the area.
Regular bus lines connect Jasienica to the center of Police and to nearby towns, so getting there without a car is straightforward. The main road running through the settlement makes it easy to get your bearings once you arrive.
Every August, a fair is held at the ruins of the former monastery, where old craft traditions and local goods are on show. For a few days each year, the crumbling walls of the old site become a meeting point for the whole area.
