Ko³bacz (pronounce: ['kou̯batʃ], German: Kolbatz) is a village in Poland, in powiat of Gryfino of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is located on the Pyrzyce-Stargard Plains, on the west bank of the river P³onia and has roughly 1400 inhabitants.
The area was inhabitated at least since the times of Lusatian culture. In 1173 it was donated to the Cistercian order from Denmark. Between 1210 and 1347 a large monastery and several farms were built in the area to house the monastery. In sources known as Colbatz, Kolbatz, Colbas, sometimes Mera Vallis which means Bright Valley. After the secularization of Pomeranian Cistercians in 1555 the area became a private property of the Dukes of Szczecin, the monastery was converted into a castle and then into a summer residence of the dukes. In 17th century the village was annexed by Brandenburg and then became part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Since then it shared the fate of Western Pomerania. Since 1871 part of Germany, after 1945 it became part of Poland. |

Hello Bogdan,
Welcome to the T.E. sight, I am sure you will find many good photos and tips.
Your first photo is very well taken, along with good notes.
I like the natural stone wall, also the brickwork colours in the building. It is a very large, and impressive.
Regards, greetings from Scotland.
