Widno [ˈvidnɔ] is a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Studzienice, within Bytów County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Studzienice, 15 km (9 mi) east of Bytów, and 67 km (42 mi) south-west of the regional capital Gdańsk.
Prior to 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For details of the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
