Gardeja is a village in Kwidzyn County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina called Gmina Gardeja.Garnsee had been a town during the time span 1334–1945 and lost city rights after World War II, when it became part of Poland.Geographical locationGardeja lies approximately 15km south of Kwidzyn and 87km south of the regional capital of Gdańsk. The village is located between two little lakes on the road from Kwidzyn to Grudziądz.HistoryThe village of Garnsee is mentioned in a document of 1323. A little while later, on October 4, 1334, the town of Garnsee was founded in the immediate vicinity of the village by Bertold von Riesenburg, Bishop of Pomesania; it was called Garzanum in the document of foundation.The main road of the settlement broadens toward its southern part to end up in the market place, at the south-eastern edge of which the church is located, probably first built around 1330–40. In 1527 the church became evangelical; its nave has been rebuilt in 1729–31. During the 19th century lectures were held in the church in German as well as in Polish language.After the town had burnt down in 1554, it was re-founded in 1559. In 1736 and 1759 it burnt down again, with the exception of a few houses. Around 1789 the town had 104 households, and its citizens lived mainly from agriculture, brewing and handicraft. In the 19th century it was the site of a local court and of a county court.
