In the second half of the 16th century, the village belonged to the Cistercian convent in Żarnowiec in the Puck poviat of the then Pomeranian voivodship. There is a pumped storage water plant nearby. Until 1990, the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Poland was carried out, as Żarnowiec became famous in the 1980s, when the site (on the site of the former village of Kartoszyno) was selected as the location of the Polish nuclear power plant.

Worth seeing

• In Żarnowiec, it is worth stopping by the late-gothic church of the Annunciation of the Lord in the 14th-15th century. It is a very well preserved temple with a priceless heel and a choir with a balustrade, at the sight of which it is difficult not to smile. We advise you to look even higher to admire the vault. In the treasury there is a set of liturgical embroidery (17th-18th century), numerous sculptures, liturgical items and manuscripts (15th century, 17th century, 18th century). The church is surrounded by one of the oldest cemeteries in Pomerania, which is still active today, dating back to the 17th and even the 16th century.
• In the 14th and 15th centuries there was a Cistercian monastery here (hence Żarnowiec is located on the Cistercian Trail). In 1589, it was taken over by the Benedictine nuns. The monastery was closed by the Prussian authorities during the partitions in 1834. In 1946 it was taken over by Benedictine Sisters from Vilnius. There are very nice gothic closed cloisters with a view of a not very spacious patio (inner courtyard).
• Stone House (House of the Chaplain) from 1409.
• Monastery wall from (16th century).
• School building from 1909
• 19th-century manor

On the weekend closest to St. Anna (July 26), a church fair is held here. He ends the pilgrimage with Nadola.

Approximately 2.5 kilometers to the west on road 213 there is the starting point for canoeing trips down the Piaśnica River. This is a real attraction. The hike is not long but picturesque and easy. The trip ends in Dębki, from where the organizers will take you back to the parking lot at the starting point.
