Muzeum Bitwy pod Grunwaldem, History museum in Stębark, Poland.
The Grunwald Battle Museum houses medieval weapons, armor, and archaeological artifacts recovered from the 1410 battlefield, including crossbow bolts and sword fragments. The collection preserves physical evidence of this major medieval conflict.
The clash between Polish-Lithuanian forces and the Teutonic Order occurred in 1410 and marked a turning point in northeastern European history. The museum itself was established in 1960 to commemorate this historic victory.
The site is closely tied to annual reenactments where visitors witness medieval combat, knightly tournaments, and period demonstrations on the museum grounds. These events keep the battle's memory alive in local traditions.
The museum offers guided tours in several languages, and visitors should book in advance to secure a place. The grounds become particularly busy on days with special events, offering more to experience for those who prefer interactive history.
The museum preserves an original medieval gauntlet fragment from Polish collections, now displayed in its permanent exhibition. This rare textile piece offers insight into the personal equipment worn by fighters of that era.
