History

Giemlice was founded within medieval Poland.[2] In 1292, Duke Mestwin II granted the village to the Cistercian monastery in Pelplin, and in 1301, the Cistercians handed it over to the Diocese of Włocławek.[2] In 1592, Bishop Hieronim Rozdrażewski granted the village to the Jesuits.[2] Giemlice was a private church village, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish Crown.[3] In the late 19th century, the population was predominantly Catholic by confession.[2]
