Gościno (Polish: [ɡɔɕˈt͡ɕinɔ]; Kashubian: Gòscëno; German: Groß Jestin)[1] is a small town in Kołobrzeg County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.

[3] The earliest documentation of the village of Gościno appears in the year 1238 as a property of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem.

[4] A main tourist site in Gościno, the Church of St. Andrew Bobola, houses a cup-shaped baptismal font hewn from one Gotland limestone boulder, from the 12th and 13th centuries.

[citation needed] It had been bought by the town's magistrate in the 14th century from the abbot of Doberan Abbey.

During World War II, in February 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of Allied prisoners-of-war from the Stalag XX-B POW camp passed through the town.
