Płowce, Historic battlefield village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Płowce extends across a rural landscape in north-central Poland, positioned 9 kilometers east of Radziejów and 47 kilometers south of Toruń.

The Battle of Płowce in 1331 between Polish forces under King Władysław I and the Teutonic Knights marked a turning point in halting Teutonic expansion.

A memorial cross and monument stand at the battlefield site, marking the location where Polish forces defended their territory against Teutonic advancement.

The village maintains a population of 570 residents and operates under the administrative oversight of Gmina Radziejów within Radziejów County.

The morning fog during the 1331 battle created conditions that led to the capture of numerous Teutonic knights, including commander Heinrich Reuss von Plauen.
