Rywałd, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship

Rywałd is a village located in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship within Grudziądz County. The settlement features a mix of farmland, residential areas, and a historic monastery complex with a church at its center.

The village developed as a settlement in an agricultural region and was shaped by the construction of a Baroque church and monastery during the 1700s. This religious complex later served a very different purpose when it became a temporary prison during World War II.

The village is defined by its rural way of life and traditional farming that shapes daily community life. Residents cultivate their land using methods rooted in local agricultural customs that have persisted over many generations.

Getting there is easiest by car or public transport from nearby towns and cities. Since the village is quite rural, expect limited shopping and dining options within the settlement itself.

The monastery served an unexpected role as a temporary prison during World War II before inmates were transferred elsewhere. This unusual chapter in the building's history is now a quiet reminder of how the complex changed purposes during wartime.
