Koźmin Wielkopolski
Poland, Poland
Koźmin Wielkopolski is a historic town in central Poland's Greater Poland Voivodeship along the Orla River, first mentioned in 1232 as a village granted to the Knights Templar and receiving town rights between 1251 and 1283 under Kalisz law, confirmed by Duke Przemysł II in 1283. In 1338, King Casimir the Great gifted it to Maćko Borkowic, who built a brick Gothic castle—now housing the Museum of Koźmin Land—amid a thriving medieval economy of cloth-making, trade fairs, and Reformation printing in the 16th-17th centuries under owners like the Górka and Sapieha families. Annexed by Prussia after the Second Partition in 1793, it regained Polish control post-1918 Greater Poland Uprising, preserving its Renaissance town hall, parish church, Jewish cemetery, and castle as testaments to its Piast-era significance and textile heritage.
