Gmina Dąbrowa Chełmińska, Rural administrative district in Bydgoszcz County, Poland.
Gmina Dąbrowa Chełmińska is a rural administrative unit in Bydgoszcz County spanning several villages with Dąbrowa Chełmińska as the main settlement. The district comprises multiple small communities scattered across the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region.
The region fell under Teutonic Knights control during the 13th century before returning to Polish authority in 1454. This transition marked a significant turning point in the area's development.
The communities here maintain their local character through small village centers and traditional settlement patterns that shape the rural landscape. Each settlement contributes its own appearance to the overall identity of the region.
The district sits roughly 22 kilometers east of Bydgoszcz and 27 kilometers northwest of Toruń, making it accessible from both cities. Visitors will find basic services distributed across the various villages rather than concentrated in one place.
The village of Pień within the district gained attention through archaeological excavations that inspired a documentary film titled 'Field of Vampires'. The discoveries there proved significant enough to attract filmmakers to document the findings.
