INDEX

[N8984] Murowana Goslina is a town in Poznan' County in western Poland, with 10,336 inhabitants (2009). It lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the major city of Poznan', on the main road and railway line to Wa;growiec. The Trojanka stream flows through northern and western parts of the town, reaching the river Warta a few kilometres to the west. The town is divided into two main parts the older part of the town to the north, centred on the market square and St. James' church, and the modern estate of Zielone Wzg©drza to the south, consisting mainly of blocks of flats and houses built since 1983. Murowana Gos'lina is also the seat of the municipality called Gmina Murowana Gos'lina, which has a total population of 15,713 (2007) and covers an area of 172 square kilometres (66 sq mi). The area around Murowana Gos'lina contains many lakes and forest areas, particularly within the protected area called Puszcza Zielonka Landscape Park. The region is popular with holiday-makers and day-trippers

In mediaeval times the settlement was called G©drka (meaning "hill") this name appears in chronicles from the reigns of Mieszko I and Boles?aw the Brave in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. The later name Gos'lina was derived from the personal name Gostl (related to Polish gos'c', "guest"), which referred to a warrior from outside the region who was given the local estates as a reward for service to the state. When a church was built in the late 11th century, the place was referred to as Goslina Templi. Around 1200, outside the wooden palisade around the wooden church, the ruling family erected a granite tower as a residence. It was this that gave rise to the name Murowana Gos'lina (murowana meaning "brick-built"), first attested in 1355. In the 13th century a large area on the right bank of the Warta around the Trojanka (then called We?nianka) belonged to the Gostl family, and Murowana Gos'lina developed along a new trading route leading northwards from Poznan to Naklo. In local colloquial speech the name of the town is normally shortened to just the prefix "Murowana". There is also a village called Dluga Goslina ("Long Goslina") about 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north.
