History
Kokoszkowy was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[3]
During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, on September 13, 1939, the Selbstschutz carried out a massacre of 10 Poles in the forest between Kokoszkowy and Szpęgawsk.[4] Teachers from Kokoszkowy were among Polish teachers murdered by the Germans on October 20, 1939, in the Szpęgawski Forest as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[5]
Village church of St. Barbara
The village is home to the church of St. Barbara (Kościół Świętej Barbary). This church dates back to the 14th century. Though mainly built of boulders, ist windows and its eastern gable make it an example of Brick Gothic style. There is a graveyard and a house behind the church aptly named after Pope John Paul II.
This church of the 14th century Knights Hospitaller was restored between 1995 and 2013 by the local parish priest Fr. Mark Błażejczyk, with the participation of numerous people of good will.
In spring time, the fields around the village are a bright yellow as the region is known for growing the rapeseed oil plants.
