History

In 1325, the church of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre was founded. Górzno was granted town rights in 1327. It was a private church town, administratively located in the Rypin County in the Inowrocław Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. The Battle of Górzno was fought nearby in 1629.
During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, the occupiers renamed the town to Görzberg to erase traces of Polish origin.
