History of Nowy Dwór Królewski

Early Days and Teutonic Knights

The village was first mentioned way back in 1398. Records from that time show that Nowy Dwór Królewski was a farming community. They had 32 horses, 20 cattle, 215 sheep, and 90 pigs!

In old German documents, the village was called by different names like Nuwenhof or Koenigliche Neuhof. From 1398 to 1421, the village was under the control of the Teutonic Order. This was a powerful group of knights. In 1505, the village became the property of the Bishop of Chełmno.

Becoming Part of Prussia

In 1772, during a time when Poland's lands were being divided, Nowy Dwór Królewski became part of West Prussia. This was a region of Germany. The first official count of residents in the village happened in 1773.

Recent Times and World War II

Just before World War II began, many people living in Nowy Dwór Królewski left their homes. They were afraid of what might happen when the Germans arrived. Soon after the war started, the village was taken over. Sadly, some parts of the village were destroyed during this time.

From 1975 to 1998, the village was part of the Toruń administrative region. In 1996, the village got connected to the telephone network. This was a big step for communication!
