Gorzuchowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stolno, within Chełmno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 13km (08miles) east of Stolno, 180NaN0 east of Chełmno, and 360NaN0 north of Toruń. It is located in Chełmno Land within the historic region of Pomerania.
On September 2, 1939, during the German invasion of Poland which started World War II, the German Luftwaffe bombed the local train station, killing 39 people, including railway workers and civilians (men, women and children). During the subsequent German occupation, Gorzuchowo was one of the sites of executions of Poles, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] In 1941, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles, who were sent to transit camps in the region, while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
The Voivodeship road 543 passes through the village, and the A1 motorway runs nearby, east of the village. There is also a train station in Gorzuchowo.
