Description	:	Gniewino (German: Gnewin) is a village in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Gniewino. It lies approximately 21 kilometres north-west of Wejherowo and 57 km north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk (Danzig). Gnewin – in ancient times also called Groß Gnewin (Grote Gnewin) – was probably originally a Pirchsches estate and belonged around 1474 to the monastery Zarnowitz (today Polish: Zarnowiec), which soon sold it to Klaus von Weiher. Around 1700 the estate went to the Jatzkow family, the hereditary lords of Gnewin and Gnewinki (also called Klein Gnewin).... Read More	Gniewino (German: Gnewin) is a village in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Gniewino. It lies approximately 21 kilometres north-west of Wejherowo and 57 km north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk (Danzig). Gnewin – in ancient times also called Groß Gnewin (Grote Gnewin) – was probably originally a Pirchsches estate and belonged around 1474 to the monastery Zarnowitz (today Polish: Zarnowiec), which soon sold it to Klaus von Weiher. Around 1700 the estate went to the Jatzkow family, the hereditary lords of Gnewin and Gnewinki (also called Klein Gnewin). In 1756 they belonged to the Majoratsgüter of the Lord of Rexin. Until 1945, Gnewin belonged to the district of Lauenburg in Pomerania in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania. The village formed a district to which the municipalities of Bychow (today Polish: Bychowo), Enzow (Jęczewo), Groß Perlin (Perlino), Klein Perlin (Perlinko), Lissow (Lisewo), Mersin (Mierzyno) and Tadden (Tadzino) belonged. Gnewin was also the seat of a registry office. The competent district court was the one in Lauenburg (Lębork). Towards the end of the Second World War, the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945. Soon after, the district of Lauenburg, together with the whole of Pomerania, was placed under Polish administration. Subsequently, the immigration of Polish civilians began. Gnewin received the Polish name Gniewino. In the following period, the ancient inhabitants were expelled from Gnewin. The parochy Gnewin was created in pre-Reformation times. With the Reformation, Lutheran doctrine found its way here. In 1570, the first Protestant church visitation took place, which was carried out by the Pomeranian Duke Johann Friedrich. The parish of Gnewin before 1945 was very large, as it counted twelve parishes: Burgsdorf (today Polish: Toliszczek), Bychow (Bychowo), Friedrichsrode (Strzebielinko), Gnewinke (Gniewinko), Groß Perlin (Perlino), Klein Perlin (Perlinko), Kolkau (Kolkowo), Lissow (Lisewo), Mersin (Mierzyno), Nadolle (Nadole), Oppalin (Opalino), Rauschendorf (Czymanowo) and Tadden (Tadzino). The Protestant parish belonged to the church district of Lauenburg in Pomerania (Lębork) in the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union. In 1940 it had 2,061 parishioners. A little to the east of Gniewino lies the Kashubian Eye Complex, a tourism and recreation complex centred on a 44 metre tall viewing tower. The village today has a population of 1,710. There is a large wind farm. The cemetery is located besides the church.
