This article appears in Volume V12, Page 381 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GRAUDENZ (Polish Grudziadz) , a town in the kingdom of
Prussia
 , province of West
Prussia
 , on the right bank of the Vistula, 18 m. S.S.W. of Marienwerder and 37 M. by rail N.N.E. of
Thorn
 . Pop. (1885) 17,336, (1905) 35,988. It has two
Protestant
  and three Roman Catholic churches, and a
synagogue
 . It is a place of considerable manufacturing activity. The town possesses a museum and a
monument
  to Guillaume Rene Courbiere (17331811), the defender of the town in 1807. It has fine promenades along the bank of the Vistula. Graudenz is an important place in the German
system
  of fortifications, and has a garrison of considerable size.
Graudenz was founded about 1250, and received civic rights in 1291. At the peace of
Thorn
  in 1466 it came under the lordship of Poland. From 1665 to 1759 it was held by
Sweden
 , and in 1772 it came into the possession of Prussia. The fortress of Graudenz, which since 1873 has been used as a
barracks
  and a military depot and prison, is situated on a steep
eminence
  about r a m. north of the town and outside its limits. It was completed by Frederick the
Great
  in 1776, and was rendered famous through its defence by Courbiere against the French in 1807.
