Skrwilno, Administrative village in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Skrwilno functions as the principal settlement of Gmina Skrwilno, located 12 kilometers southeast of Rypin and 66 kilometers east of Toruń.

During World War II, German forces conducted mass executions of Polish citizens in Skrwilno between October and November 1939, targeting local teachers and intellectuals.

The 1961 archaeological excavation at Skrwilno revealed a treasure containing 16th and 17th-century gold tableware, silver items, and pearls belonging to noblewoman Zofia Piwowa.

The village maintains a population of 1,700 residents and operates under Central European Time, with an elevation of 125 meters above sea level.

Swedish forces murdered local priest Walerian Cząpski in 1658 during their invasion of Poland, marking a significant event in the village's religious history.
