Skępe, Administrative town in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Skępe extends across the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region with a population of 7,790 residents, positioned 53 kilometers east of the city of Toruń.

The town received its official rights in 1445 from King Casimir IV of Poland, evolving from an earlier medieval Slavic fortified settlement.

The Bernardine Monastery and Church of the Annunciation, established in 1498, transformed Skępe into the principal religious center of Dobrzyń Land.

The municipality combines both urban and rural areas, covering 179 square kilometers and incorporating numerous surrounding villages within its administrative boundaries.

During German occupation in World War II, authorities changed the town name to Schemmensee until 1945, when its original Polish designation returned.
