History

Ostrowo was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Puck County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2] In 1552 King Sigismund II Augustus renewed the old lost privilege of the village, which was later confirmed by Kings Władysław IV Vasa, John II Casimir Vasa and John III Sobieski.[3]
