Gołańcz is a town in Wągrowiec County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland, with 3,333 inhabitants (2010).
==History== thumb|left|Castle Gołańcz was first mentioned in a document from 1222. It was granted town rights in the 14th century. It was a private town of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kcynia County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. The Gołańczewski noble family hailed from the town, including Maciej Gołańczewski, bishop of Kujawy from 1324 to 1364. In 1656 the town was fiercely defended by the Poles during the Swedish invasion of Poland (Deluge), but was eventually captured by the Swedes who then massacred the surviving defenders.
