Kiczarowo [kit͡ʂaˈrɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stargard, within Stargard County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) north-east of Stargard and 36 km (22 mi) east of the regional capital Szczecin.

History

[edit]

The territory became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967.[2] Following the fragmentation of Poland, it was part of the Duchy of Pomerania.

During World War II, in 1941, the Germans operated a forced labour camp in the village.[3]
