Główczyce

Glowczyce is a village in Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland, spread across a plateau south of Lebsko Lake. The settlement is crossed by the Pustynka River and sits within agricultural land dotted with smaller hamlets.

The village was first recorded in documents during the 13th century when the region was governed by local nobility. Over the centuries, it remained a modest economic hub with mills and craft workshops.

The village retains traces of its Kashubian heritage in local architecture and names of surrounding hamlets. The way houses are arranged still shows the historical settlement pattern today.

The village is easiest to explore on foot since most structures are spread along the main road and around the central area. Visitors should know this is a working rural community, so basic services are limited.

The village was historically a place of specialized crafts and water power, where mills and forges shaped the local economy. This craft tradition remains visible in the landscape structure and preserved buildings today.
