Where to stay in Szczepankowo (Poznań)
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Szczepankowo puts a car ahead of a timetable. No tram reaches it. Buses work ulica Szczepankowo, the district's main axis, and run to the Franowo loop and to Rondo Rataje, where trams and the suburban services out to Kleszczewo meet.
The Trasa Katowicka drops slip roads towards Szczepankowo where ulica Bolesława Krzywoustego crosses the Pokrzywka. The quarter kept its garden character. Take a room here if you are driving and want the city's eastern edge instead of the Stary Rynek.

What are the main landmarks in Szczepankowo (Poznań)?
The church of St. Joseph stands at the corner of ulica Agrestowa and ulica Jagodowa in Szczepankowo, built from 1985 to 1992 to a design by Henryk Jarosz and Małgorzata Jarosz-Trochelepsza. Archbishop Jerzy Stroba consecrated it on 7 June 1995. A free-standing belfry followed.

What is the history of Szczepankowo (Poznań)?
Szczepankowo enters the record in 1391, spelled Szczepancowicze in a Latin court roll. The Szczepankowski family took its surname from the village, and the Kluczewski, Spławski, and Rokossowski houses held it after them. It lay in the Poznań Voivodeship in 1493 and in the parish of Spławie in 1510.
Prussia took it in the partition of 1793, and German records called it Stephanshofen. In 1931 the Mycielski grange was cut into plots by the municipal savings bank, and in November 1941 German police drove the Poles of Krzesiny, Krzesinki, and Szczepankowo from their houses. Poznań absorbed the village in 1942.
