Białośliwie [bjawɔˈɕlivjɛ] is a village in Piła County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Białośliwie.
The oldest known mention of Białośliwie comes from 1216, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland.

The village has a pre-war Catholic church and two historic railway stations: Białośliwie railway station and Białośliwie Wąskotorowy railway station.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Białośliwie” as village in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as village in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q855970. VIAF identifies the subject as 239233430. Authority coordinates are 53.100, 17.133. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1216 and 1939.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
