Gostycyn was a royal village of the
Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tuchola County in the
Pomeranian Voivodeship. During the
German occupation of Poland (
World War II), the Germans arrested several
Polish inhabitants and also murdered local Polish teachers in the large massacre of Poles in
Rudzki Most as part of the
Intelligenzaktion. In 1942–1943 many Poles were
expelled, while their farms were handed over to
German colonists as part of the
Lebensraum policy. == Notable people ==
