The city of Pyzdry itself is an extremely interesting and important place on the map of Poland. In the Middle Ages it was one of the largest towns in Greater Poland, playing an important political role. It was here that King Władysław Łokietek convened a congress of Polish clergy and dignitaries in 1318. Casimir the Great also visited the city, as a result of which the Teutonic Knights burned them down, but the ruler rebuilt the old buildings.
