The Medieval settlement in Golenice grew into a village which was granted the town charter in 1317. Golenice was one of the seven towns of the New March, but would subsequently lose its charter. The fortified settlement is circular, with nearly perfectly round ring of bulwarks. It was harboured safely in the marshes spreading between Lake Golenickie and the Kruszwin stream. The bulwarks were additionally protected by a 5-m deep moat. The diameter of the settlement bulwarks is 58 and the only gap is the gate on the eastern side.
