History
As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. It was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2] The last owners of the village and palace, until 1939, were the Mielżyński family. Afterwards, Iwno was converted into a premier horse farm and riding school.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the local school principal and the local estate administrator were among the victims of a massacre of Poles committed by the Germans in nearby Kostrzyn on October 20, 1939 as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign.[3][4]
