Sierpowo was a private village within the Polish Crown, owned by various Polish nobles, administratively located in the Człuchów County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[3] During World War II the German administration operated a labor camp for prisoners of war from the Stalag II-B prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[4]
