History

The village has an old birth certificate. It was probably founded by the Cistercians from Zemsko near Bledzew. It was mentioned in a document from 1378, issued on the occasion of the exchange Rokitna, Domarat estate of the Grzymalit family, to Cistercian villages Muchocin and Radgoszcz.

The village has a very diverse development, representing a kind of presentation of the forms of rural construction from the nineteenth century to the present day. The oldest is the wooden building no. 17 from the end of the 18th century, located in the center of the village. In addition, there are several half-timbered residential and farm buildings.

Contemporary houses - villas contrast with them. In the eastern part of the village, we can see blocks of a small estate next to a cattle farm for 640 cows existing in 1978-1981, later converted into a pig farm.

In 1939, the Nazis organized a ghetto in Radgoszcz for the Jewish population of the Międzychód poviat.

1.1 km to the north east from Radgoszcz, by the road to Kaplin, in the forest, there are two lonely graves of Soviet prisoners of war who were shot during their escape from the camp. In October 1973, a commemorative plaque was unveiled at the graves.

Where next

• At a distance of 6 km to the east Zatom Stary first records of which date back to 1388. The village originally belonged to the manor, but at the end of the 19th century it was already a farming village. The area of ​​the village was 585 ha, in 1908 - 586.2 ha. The inhabitants took part in the Greater Poland Uprising. On the Warta River, there is a ferry crossing (an upper-line ferry set by the strength of the muscles and a set of wheels for the river current) to Zatom Nowe.
• Less than 4 km south Miedzyrzecz, a city located in the valley of the Obra valley, at the mouth of Paklica river. It is located in the northern part of the Zbąszyńska Furrow. Located at an altitude of 49.8 m above sea level. One of the oldest centers in Poland. During the reign of Bolesław the Brave, the stronghold was strengthened and included in the defensive line of the western border of Poland. In 1002, a monastery was established in the vicinity of the castle. In 1157 Międzyrzecz was plundered by the army of Frederick Barbarossa. Town rights from 1248 confirmed in 1259. In October, during the war of 1519-1521, Międzyrzecz was razed to the ground. Thanks to the help of King Zygmunt August and the work of the inhabitants, the city rose quickly. The 17th and 18th centuries brought the city a series of disasters resulting from wars, army marches, epidemics, floods and fires, which led to the destruction of the city and the collapse of its development. In 1793, Międzyrzecz was seized by Prussia during the Second Partition of Poland.

The most interesting monuments are: the castle complex from the 14th century, rebuilt in the 19th century, the town hall from 1813, the railway station complex at pl.

• Muchocin

The history of the village is evidenced by a document from December 18, 1378, according to which Mikołaj of Bytyń, coat of arms of Łodzia, came into possession of the village by way of exchange. Despite the Protestant religion of the heirs, the village retained its Catholic character.

In the 15th century, the tradition of two mills in Muchocin on the Dormowska Struga River (the section of which from Lake Tuczno to the Warta was called Młyńska already in 1462), the larger of them had as many as 6 wheels with a turbine. At the end of the 19th century there was a brown coal mine and steam distillery. Until recently, manure peat was mined here. The present manor house, a simple, one-story building, was built in the 19th century. After renovation since 1989, it houses research laboratories of the Agricultural University of Poznań, a fish hatchery and an experimental cowshed.
