Kruszyn is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Włocławek, within Włocławek County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10km (10miles) south of Włocławek and 580NaN0 south-east of Toruń. It is home to an airport.
The first mention of Kruszyn came in 1314 as a wooden church. For many centuries, under both Polish and Prussian rule, it was owned by several wealthy estates. In 1941, much of the town was razed by the Nazis but it was later rebuilt.[2]
