Stara Kiszewa ( German Alt Kischau , formerly Alt Kyschau ) is a village in the powiat Kościerski of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . It is the seat of the rural community of the same name .
Geographical location
The village is located in the historic Pomeranian countryside in the former West Prussia on the Wierzyca (heel) river , about 18 kilometers southeast of Kościerzyna (Berent) and 55 kilometers southwest of Gdansk .
history
Since the beginning of the 14th century, the region with the village belonged to the Teutonic Order . Around 1785 the village had a Catholic church and 34 houses.
The Kischau Castle on the heel two kilometers east of the village came in 1316 by donation to the Teutonic Order ; it is still mentioned in the Thorner peace document from 1466 as an order castle. Since the 18th century the castle was the seat of a royal domain office. A partially restored castle ruin is still preserved from the castle.
Until the end of the World War, the village belonged to the Berent district in the West Prussian administrative district of Danzig of the German Empire .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the region with the village had to be ceded to Poland in 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor . Due to the attack on Poland in 1939, the village was annexed by the Nazi state in violation of international law and incorporated into the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . Towards the end of the Second World War it was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and returned to Poland.
