ARCHIVES OF THE PARISH OF ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL IN JASTROWIE. AN INVENTORY

Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of the article is a list of preserved archival materials of the parish of St Michael the Archangel in Jastrowie. In 1602, Jastrowie was granted the municipal rights by the hands of the starost of Ujście, Piotr Potulicki, confirmed by King Sigismund III Vasa. The first church may have been built as early as the 14th century. The temple was taken over by Protestants in the 16th century and reclaimed by Catholics in the early 17th century. The Jastrowie parish, along with the Wałcz land, belonged to the Czarnków deanery, and at the end of the 18th century to the Wałcz deanery. In 1772, it became part of the Prussian state. It returned to Poland in 1945, along with all of the Wałcz Region. In 1990, Jastrowie became the seat of a deanery. In 2004–2005, the surviving pre-war archives were transferred to the Archives of the Diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg in Koszalin. There they were developed and inventoried, divided into series with new reference numbers (1–145). The chronology of the files spans the 17th–20th centuries, with 2.9 linear metres and 145 archival units. The compiled archives can be used to further research the history of the town and the immediate area.
