Gmina Kościerzyna, Administrative center in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Kościerzyna spans across 15.83 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 150 meters above sea level in northern Poland.
The settlement received its first municipal rights in 1346 and gained full town status in 1398, marking its growth from a small trading post.
The name of the town comes from the Old Polish word kościerz, referring to the dense thickets that characterized the surrounding landscape.
The Railway Museum on Towarowa Street contains an extensive collection of locomotives and railway equipment from different periods of Polish history.
The town maintains strong connections to its Kashubian heritage, serving as an important center for this distinct ethnic group in northern Poland.
