The story
Grunwald Days in Grunwald
Dni Grunwaldu, running since 1998 on the Saturday nearest 15 July, reenacts the 1410 Battle of Grunwald with over a thousand costumed participants staging the historic clash between Polish-Lithuanian forces and the Teutonic Knights, centered on the ceremonial handover of the two swords before combat.
On 15 July 1410, combined Polish and Lithuanian forces defeated the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Grunwald, one of the largest and most consequential battles of medieval Europe, and a victory that remains deeply embedded in Polish national memory more than six centuries later.
