Chwarszczany, Medieval village in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
Located along the Myśla River, Chwarszczany extends across flat terrain with the prominent St. Stanislaus Chapel rising against the rural landscape.
The Knights Templar received this land in 1232 from Duke Władysław Odonic, establishing a commandry that controlled territories near the Oder and Warta rivers.
The village chapel contains medieval wall paintings from 1400, displaying religious imagery through early Gothic architectural elements and cross-rib vaults.
Chwarszczany sits at the intersection of voivodeship road 127 and national road 31, providing direct access routes to major cities in northwestern Poland.
Archaeological excavations since 2004 led to the creation of a specialized Templar Museum, documenting the medieval military orders in this region.
