Wyszogród

Wyszogród [vɨˈʂɔɡrut] is a town in central Poland, in Masovian Voivodeship, in Płock County, by the Vistula River.

Relocated on Magdeburg Law in 1398, Wyszogród became one of the most important inland ports and centres of textile production in the area.

During the Swedish invasion of Poland (1701–1706), Polish King Augustus II the Strong stayed in the town in 1704.

During the January Uprising, on June 2, 1863, it was the site of a clash between Polish insurgents and Russian troops, won by the Poles.

During the Polish–Soviet War, in August 1920, Polish troops were stationed nearby to defend the crossing over the Vistula River against a possible Soviet attack.

[5] During World War II, the town was heavily damaged during the course of the German invasion of Poland in September 1939.
