Ownice [ɔvˈnit͡sɛ] (German: Ögnitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Słońsk, within Sulęcin County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south-east of Słońsk, 19 km (12 mi) north-west of Sulęcin, and 34 km (21 mi) south-west of Gorzów Wielkopolski.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.
