History[edit]
Puzdrowo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Mirachowo County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, some Poles from Puzdrowo were among the victims of a massacre committed by the Germans in nearby Kaliska as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign.[3]
