History

The earliest documentation of the village of Gościno appears in the year 1238 as a property of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. The town's name derives from the Old Polish male name Gościmir.[3] A main tourist site in Gościno, the Church of St. Andrew Bobola, houses a cup-shaped baptismal font hewn from one Gotland limestone boulder, from the 12th and 13th centuries. It is one of the few sacred relics of this kind in Western Pomerania.[4]

During earlier centuries the settlement had been a domain owned and farmed out by the town of Kołobrzeg.^{[citation needed]} It had been bought by the town's magistrate in the 14th century from the abbot of Doberan Abbey. Around 1780 the domain included 16 farm houses.^{[citation needed]}

From the 18th century the village was part of the Kingdom of Prussia and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany, administratively located in the Landkreis Kolberg-Körlin of the Province of Pomerania. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945 it became part of Poland.

Since 1 January 2011 Gościno has had the status of a town.
