Ostrow Wielkopolski

Ostrów Wielkopolski occupies a lowland position on the Ołobok River in the southern part of Greater Poland Voivodeship. Granted town rights in 1404, it developed as a regional centre between Poznań and the Silesian borderlands. The compact centre is organised around the Market Square, where the Town Hall anchors everyday civic life; nearby stands the co-cathedral of St Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr, one of the city’s principal churches. Ostrów also holds a place in the story of the Greater Poland Uprising of 1918–19, when the region returned to the reborn Polish state.
