Gmina Choczewo

Gmina Choczewo is a rural municipality in northern Poland near the Baltic Sea coast, comprising numerous villages and settlements spread across the region. The area spans 183 square kilometers and contains 41 different communities ranging from small hamlets to larger villages.

The territory was shaped by historical settlement patterns controlled by regional nobility, including a manor house from the 18th century in Choczewo village. This structure reflected the agricultural economy and social order of the Baltic region during that period.

The villages here reflect Kashubian traditions through local place names and community practices that shape daily life. These cultural elements remain visible in how residents connect with their surroundings and each other.

The municipality is rural and requires a car for traveling between different villages, especially if you want to explore multiple locations across the territory. Basic services like waste collection and health screening are available in the main settlements.

The village of Lubiatowo-Kopalino within this municipality was selected in 2021 as the location for Poland's first commercial nuclear power plant. This decision has the potential to significantly transform the economic future of the entire region.
