Mieścisko is a town in Wągrowiec County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Mieścisko.[1] It lies approximately 11km (07miles) south-east of Wągrowiec and 480NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Poznań. It is situated on the Wełna River.
Mieścisko was a royal town of Poland, administratively located in the Gniezno County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Mieścisko was occupied by Germany until 1945. Local Poles were among the victims of massacres committed by the occupiers in 1939 in Kłecko and Bukowiec.[3]
