Krojanty ( German Krojanten , Kashubian Krojantë ) is a village in the rural municipality of Chojnice (Konitz) in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland .
The village is located on the southern edge of the Tucheler Heide , about seven kilometers northeast of Chojnice, on the former Prussian Eastern Railway from Konitz via Rytel ( Rittel ) to Tczew ( Dirschau ).
On September 1, 1939, the battle of Krojanty took place there, which became a propaganda myth because Polish cavalry met German tanks.
The former country estate, once owned by various noble families, now houses a private clinic that also addresses international patients.
