Kowal, Royal municipality in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Kowal is a royal municipality in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship located within Włocławek County. The town occupies modest land area and maintains typical Polish urban structures with local services and amenities.
The town was founded in the medieval period and became connected to early Polish royal history. During the Second World War, it experienced severe displacement as German occupiers took control of the settlement.
The town displays a statue of King Casimir III the Great, born here in 1310, whose reign marked the end of the Piast dynasty's rule. This monument reflects the local connection to medieval Polish history and royal lineage.
The town is accessible via National Road 1, which includes a bypass constructed to manage traffic flow. Visitors should expect standard conditions typical of a small Polish town with straightforward local navigation.
A Jewish community settled in the town starting in the 16th century and established a wooden prayer house along with various trade organizations. This community shaped the town's economic and cultural life until the outbreak of war.
