Radzyń is located within the historic Chełmno Land, which became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Radzyń was a royal town of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Chełmno Voivodeship.[1] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772. In October and November 1831, various Polish cavalry and infantry units and intendant troops of the November Uprising stopped near the town on the way to their internment places.[2] The town was restored to Poland after the nation regained independence in the aftermath of World War I in 1918.
Other Gothic sights include the parish church of St. Anne, which construction started about 1310 and finished about 1340, and the chapel of St. George. A memorial dedicated to local Poles-victims of World War II and Nazi Germany-is located at the market square.
