Wieniec-Zdrój is a spa in the administrative district of Gmina Brześć Kujawski, within Włocławek County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9km (06miles) north-east of Brześć Kujawski, 50NaN0 west of Włocławek, and 490NaN0 south-east of Toruń.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. Shortly before their withdrawal, on January 18, 1945, the Germans committed a massacre of nine Poles in Wieniec-Zdrój (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2]
