Czarnowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pomiechówek, within Nowy Dwór County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 2km (01miles) south-east of Brody-Parcele (the gmina seat), 80NaN0 north-east of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, and 330NaN0 north-west of Warsaw. The village is on the north bank of the Narew River, a short distance east of the point where the Wkra River flows into it from the north.
The Battle of Czarnowo was fought on 23 - 24 December 1806 during the War of the Fourth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars. French soldiers under the command of Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout forced a crossing of the Wkra near Pomiechowo. When they advanced eastward to Czarnowo they were fiercely resisted by Russian troops led by Lieutenant General Alexander Ivanovich Ostermann-Tolstoy in an all-night contest. In the early morning hours of the 24th, Ostermann-Tolstoy ordered a retreat.[2] The fighting caused about 1,400 casualties on each side.[3]
