Warnice [varˈnit͡sɛ] (German: Warnitz) is a village in Pyrzyce County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Warnice.[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) north-east of Pyrzyce and 33 km (21 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. 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 with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
