Mierzeszyn [mjɛˈʐɛʂɨn] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Trąbki Wielkie, within Gdańsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-west of Trąbki Wielkie, 16 km (10 mi) south-west of Pruszcz Gdański, and 24 km (15 mi) south-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. It is located within the historic region of Pomerania.
Mierzeszyn was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2] In the past it was also called Miereszyn (1686), Miereszczyn (1717), and Mierzyszyn.[3]
During the World War II, on November 17, 1939, the Germans murdered the local Polish priest in the nearby village of Nowy Wiec (see Intelligenzaktion).[4]
There are two historic churches in the village: the Saint Bartholomew church and the Sacred Heart church.
