Cekcyn, Rural village in north-central Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
The village of Cekcyn extends across the Tuchola Forest district, featuring pine woodlands and the Wielkie Jezioro Cekcyńskie lake at coordinates 53°34'22.1"N 18°0'36.0"E.
In 1301, King Wenceslaus II of Poland granted the village to Piotr Święca, establishing a foundation for its development as an administrative center in the region.
The Neogothic church, constructed in 1869, stands in the village center as a gathering point for the 2,162 residents who maintain Polish rural traditions.
Cekcyn functions as the administrative seat of Gmina Cekcyn, located 11 kilometers east of Tuchola and 51 kilometers north of Bydgoszcz with postal code 89-511.
During World War II, German authorities renamed the village to Seehaupten and implemented forced labor policies before its restoration to original identity after liberation.
