Battle of Grunwald Reenactment — Grunwald Days

Known locally as Inscenizacja Bitwy pod Grunwaldem / Dni Grunwaldu

🇵🇱 Grunwald (Stębark), Poland · ⚑ 1,300–1,400 in battle; 3,500 in camp

About

Each July, some 1,300–1,400 reenactors from Poland and abroad restage the 1410 Battle of Grunwald on the original battlefield near Stębark, the clash in which the Polish-Lithuanian army broke the Teutonic Knights and killed their Grand Master, Ulrich von Jungingen. A single afternoon performance recreates the battle's key beats — the arrival of the Order's envoys bearing two swords, archery and infantry clashes, and the decisive cavalry charges — in front of a medieval camp that draws over 3,500 people living in period for the weekend.

Programme

Fri 17 Jul
15:00Battle of Grunwald reenactment — main performance

Getting there

The battlefield and museum sit at Stębark 70a, 14-107 Gierzwałd, in the triangle of villages Stębark–Grunwald–Łodwigowo. On performance day this loop becomes a one-way circuit (Stębark to Grunwald to Łodwigowo and back), so journey times run well over normal — arrive early. The museum runs paid parking fields beside its own buildings. Watching the reenactment itself is free ("wstęp wolny"), though the site is open-air and not fully fenced.
