==History==<br />
Kokoszkowy was a royal village of the [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Kingdom of Poland]], administratively located in the Tczew County in the [[Pomeranian Voivodeship (1466–1772)|Pomeranian Voivodeship]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Biskup|first1=Marian|last2=Tomczak|first2=Andrzej|year=1955|title=Mapy województwa pomorskiego w drugiej połowie XVI w.|language=pl|location=Toruń|pages=110, 112}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the German [[invasion of Poland]], which started [[World War II]], on September 13, 1939, the ''[[Selbstschutz]]'' carried out a massacre of 10 [[Polish people|Poles]] in the forest between Kokoszkowy and [[Szpęgawsk]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Wardzyńska|first=Maria|year=2009|title=Był rok 1939. Operacja niemieckiej policji bezpieczeństwa w Polsce. Intelligenzaktion|language=pl|location=Warszawa|publisher=[[Institute of National Remembrance|IPN]]|page=108}}</ref> Teachers from Kokoszkowy were among Polish teachers murdered by the Germans on October 20, 1939, in the [[Szpęgawski Forest]] as part of the ''[[Intelligenzaktion]]''.<ref>Wardzyńska, pp. 148–149</ref><br />

== Village church of St. Barbara ==<br />
[[File:Wlz1209 ked kościół p.w. Św. Barbary Krąg 02.jpg|thumb|left|St. Barbara church]]<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In spring time, the fields around the village are a bright yellow as the region is known for growing the rapeseed oil plants.<br />
