history

The village used to be a noble seat. In 1369 the village is mentioned as a church village, and since 1449 it has been a fief of the Brockhusen family .

Around 1930 there were six residential areas in the community of Groß Justin, on which there were a total of 84 residential buildings: Auf der Heide , Bahnhof Groß Justin , Bei Knurrbusch , Groß Justin , Kamp and Turney . The latter place of residence emerged as a result of the separation carried out in 1850. In 1925 there were 670 inhabitants in the community of Groß Justin, who were distributed over 133 households. In 1933 there were 637 inhabitants in Groß Justin, and in 1939 there were 618 inhabitants.

The parish had an area of ​​1157.8 hectares, of which 160.1 hectares were forest. In addition to the manor, which had a size of 600 hectares, there were four farms. The last owner of the Groß Justin estate until 1945 was Hans-Heinrich von Brockhusen.

Until 1945 the place was in the district of Cammin i. Pom. in the province of Pomerania .

In 1945 the previously German place came under Polish administration and was renamed Gostyń Wielki and in 1946 Gostyń . The German population was expelled. From 1945 to 1954 the place was the seat of the municipality Gostyń. In 1999 the place came to the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and Powiat Kamieński .

church

Under the influence of the local pastor Albert Friedrich Heinrich David Hollaz (1811–1849), who had come to Groß Justin in 1838, some of the parishioners left the Evangelical Church in Pomerania in 1847 and joined the Old Lutherans . Around 1861 there were 300 Old Lutherans in Groß Justin. In 1925, of the 670 inhabitants of the village, only 393 (58.7%) declared themselves to be Protestant, and one inhabitant was Catholic. No information on the creed was available for the remaining 276 inhabitants.

Groß Justin had its own elementary school until 1945.
