Information

History

In the 11th century, Opatówko belonged to the Adwaniec family. In 1070, they donated them to the monastery in Lubiń. 250 years later, the Gniezno chapter changed Wyszaków from Zaniemyśl to Opatówko, which was still a hereditary property of the cleric Absalon, son of Bernard from Polwica. The diocese of Poznań included Opatówko in 1364, and in that year there was also a church in the village. In 1752 the archdeacon of Gniezno - Leon Morawski - founded the wooden church of St. Catherine.

In the 1880s, the village was inhabited by 114 people, all of Catholic faith, in 12 houses. In 1882 the landowner, Józef Wolski, sold it into German hands. At that time, there was also a brickyard and a peat mine in the village. In addition, there is also a manor and farm buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the years 1975-1998, the town was administratively part of the Poznań Province.
