Wenecja, Railway museum village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Poland.
Wenecja sits between three lakes - Biskupinskie, Weneckie, and Skrzynka - in the northern part of Poland, 6 kilometers from Żnin and 38 kilometers from Bydgoszcz.
The settlement received city status in 1392 when Mikołaj Nałęcz, upon returning from studies in Italy, renamed it from Mościska and built a defensive castle.
The village maintains the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, which displays 17 steam locomotives and represents the industrial heritage of the Pałuki region.
Visitors reach the village via the Żnin District Railway, which operates on a 600-millimeter gauge track and connects to major regional attractions along the Piast Trail.
The ruins of a 14th-century gothic castle stand near a 19th-century Neo-Gothic church, creating a timeline of architectural development in a single location.
