Gruczno [ˈɡrut͡ʂnɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świecie, within Świecie County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. [1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of Świecie, 34 km (21 mi) north-east of Bydgoszcz, and 41 km (25 mi) north-west of Toruń.
History
Gruczno was the site of a medieval Polish stronghold. [2] The name of the village comes from the Polish word gród, which means "stronghold". [2] During the fragmentation period, it was located within the Duchy of Pomerania (eastern) within the fragmented Polish realm. The oldest known mention of a parish priest in Gruczno comes from 1238. [2] In 1290, Duke Mestwin II sold the village to the Archbishop of Gniezno. [2] Gruczno was visited by several Archbishops of Gniezno, and it was administered by the Archdiocese until the late-18th-century Partitions of Poland, [2] when it was annexed by Prussia. Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
During the German occupation of Poland ( World War II), Gruczno was one of the sites of executions of Poles, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion. [3] In 1940–1941, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, whose houses and farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy. [4]
Sports
The local football club is Wisła Gruczno. [5] It competes in the lower leagues.
