Ostroróg, Medieval town in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Ostroróg spans across 1.26 square kilometers of land in Szamotuły County, featuring historical buildings and traditional Polish architecture at coordinates 52°38′N 16°28′E.

The town, first documented in 1383 and granted municipal rights before 1412, remained under the ownership of the influential Ostroróg family until 1624.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ostroróg developed into a significant center for Protestant communities in Poland, influencing regional religious practices.

The town maintains essential municipal services for its population of 1,962 residents, including a hospital that has operated continuously since its establishment in 1472.

Following the Greater Poland Uprising, local residents successfully took control of Ostroróg, leading to its integration into independent Poland in 1918.
