Rożnowo, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Rural settlement in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Rożnowo is a village in Gmina Oborniki, in the Greater Poland Voivodeship of Poland. It consists of scattered farmsteads and houses set among open fields and small patches of forest.
The village grew as a farming settlement in a region where rural communities have been rooted since the Middle Ages. The parish church became its focal point early on and remained so across many generations.
Saint Catherine's Parish Church is the most visible building in the village and gives the place its center. Religious feasts bring residents from the surrounding farms together at regular points throughout the year.
The village is best reached by car, as houses are spread out across farmland and there is no central hub to walk between. Oborniki, the nearest town, can serve as a useful base for exploring the wider area.
Włodzimierz Bonawentura Krzyżanowski, an officer born in this village, rose to the rank of brigadier general during the American Civil War. His path led from a small farm in Greater Poland to the battlefields of North America.
