When part of the Greater Poland province of the fragmented Polish realm, Duke Władysław Odonic granted the area to the Knights Templar in 1232.[2] An Early Gothic church was built in the village in the 13th century.[2] Once a town, it received town rights in 1317 and was deprived of them before 1500.[3] The village was heavily destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.[2]
The main landmark of Nowogródek Pomorski is the Gothic church of Our Lady Queen of Poland, which dates back to the 13th century.[2]
