Grzegorzew

Gmina Grzegorzew, located in the Greater Poland Voivodeship within Koło County, boasts a rich historical and cultural context. Its administrative seat, Grzegorzew, was previously known as the municipality of Krzykosy until 1954. The region features diverse landscapes: the western part lies on the South Greater Poland Lowland, while the eastern edges form part of the Kłodawa Upland. Forests cover only a few percent of the municipality's area, which is dominated by farmland, reflecting its agricultural character. In terms of transportation, National Road 92, connecting Poznań and Warsaw, plays a key role, as do railway lines, including the Barłogi station, facilitating the movement of residents and goods. The local culture is largely tied to Catholic traditions, with three Roman Catholic parishes located within its borders, including the Parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Grzegorzew, which belongs to the Włocławek Diocese. According to 2002 data, the municipality covers an area of 73.43 km², with agricultural land accounting for 84% of the territory. In 2006, the population was 5,615, indicating a stable community. Neighboring municipalities, such as Babiak, Dąbie, Kłodawa, Koło, and Olszówka, form the regional context in which Grzegorzew operates. An interesting fact is the concentration of railway lines in the village of Grodna, making it an important transportation hub in the region. Gmina Grzegorzew combines elements of tradition, history, and modernity, making it an interesting place both to live in and to visit.
