Zakoniczyn

Zakoniczyn, also known as Sãkòcëno, is a neighborhood in Gdańsk with a rich history dating back to the mid-14th century, when the village was first recorded as Zankoczyn. Over the centuries, it underwent various transformations, including changes in its name, and its current status as a neighborhood was granted in 1973. Zakoniczyn is one of the largest districts of Gdańsk in terms of area, with its boundaries marked by Świętokrzyska, Warszawska, Jabłoniowa, and Konrada Guderskiego streets. The neighborhood is distinguished by its modern residential developments, which expanded significantly between 2000 and 2010, with projects such as the Świętokrzyskie Estate and the Five Hills development. At the heart of Zakoniczyn's social life are two public educational institutions: Primary School No. 6 and No. 12, both well-connected to the area. The neighborhood also features retention reservoirs that serve as nesting grounds for numerous bird species, enhancing its natural appeal. Future investment plans include new streets and a rail connection as part of the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway (PKM), which is expected to further improve transportation in the area. Zakoniczyn offers a unique blend of modernity, rich history, and Kashubian tradition, making it an attractive place to live and explore local cultural values.
