Siege of Thorn

The now Polish city of Toruń ( German  Thorn ) experienced several long-lasting sieges and ceremonies during its history , but also attempts to take it by surprise . During the Swedish-Polish wars, for example, in 1629 the city was attacked by Swedish troops unexpectedly, but unsuccessfully, and in 1655 was forced to surrender without a fight by a Swedish army. The siege of 1658, in turn, was preceded by a lengthy civilization of the city in the previous year. In 1809, Austrian troops finally tried to take control of the city as part of the Vistula campaign .

The actual sieges of Thorn were as follows:

• Siege of Thorn (1658) by a royal Polish army and its allies as part of the Second Northern War
• Siege of Thorn (1703) by an army of the Swedish King Charles XII. as part of the Great Northern War
• Siege of Thorn (1813) by a Russian army as part of the Napoleonic Wars
