Wiele, Pomeranian Voivodeship

Wiele [ˈvʲɛlɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Karsin, within Kościerzyna County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.

The area is hampered by poor, sandy soil, which is why the primary crops are rye, hay and potatoes.

Wiele was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tuchola County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

The museum of Zaborland lies here, displaying local folk art and contemporary Kashubian artistry.

During the Kashubian diaspora, many families from Wiele emigrated to the area of Winona, Minnesota in the United States, beginning in the late 1850s.
