lisola

Lisola is a small village situated in north‑western Poland, within the administrative district of Gmina Goleniów, Goleniów County, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The settlement lies approximately 7 km southeast of the town of Goleniów and about 22 km northeast of the regional capital Szczecin. As of the latest national census, Lisola has a population of roughly 250 residents, reflecting a modest rural community typical of the region.

The area that now encompasses Lisola was historically part of the Duchy of Pomerania and later fell under Swedish, Prussian, and German rule before being incorporated into Poland after World War II. The village’s name, derived from the Polish word “lis” meaning “fox,” likely references the local wildlife or a historic association with fox hunting in the surrounding forested landscape.

Economically, Lisola is primarily agricultural, with local farms focusing on cereal cultivation, dairy production, and small‑scale livestock rearing. In recent years, the proximity to Szczecin has encouraged some residents to commute for employment in industry, services, and education, while modest tourism centered on the nearby lakes and natural trails has begun to develop.

Key landmarks include a 19th‑century wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus, a preserved lime‑tree avenue that connects the village to the neighboring hamlet of Płot, and a community center that hosts cultural events and local markets. Lisola’s governance falls under the Gmina council, which oversees infrastructure, education, and public services for the village and its environs.
