Rogóźno, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship
village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
Rogóźno [rɔˈɡuʑnɔ] is a village in Grudziądz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Rogóźno.
History
In 1226 Duke Konrad I of Masovia had called for the Teutonic Order to fight against the pagan Old Prussian tribes, and granted the area to the Teutonic Knights as a fief. The Order had a castle (Ordensburg) built at Groß-Rogis —present-day Rogóźno-Zamek— about 1275. Soon after, a parish church was erected near the fortress and a settlement arose. In 1454, upon the request of the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation, the Chełmno Land was reincorporated into the Kingdom of Poland by King Casimir IV Jagiellon. After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War, in 1466, the region was confirmed as part of Poland. Afterwards the village was administratively located in the Chełmno Voivodeship in the province of Royal Prussia in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.
Devastated by Swedish troops in the 17th century, the parish church had to be rebuilt twice, using stones from the decayed Order's castle. Rogóźno was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia during the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Rogóźno, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship” as village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q984807. The first chronological checks are 1226, 1275, 1454 and 1466.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
