Bobrowniki is a town in Lipno County, in Poland's Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, and the seat of Gmina Bobrowniki. In the medieval period it was one of the centers of the Dobrzyń Land and later a royal town within the Greater Poland Province, and it retains the ruins of a castle built by the Teutonic Knights at the end of the fourteenth century. On 8 October 1939 residents of nearby Radomice, including local Polish educators, were massacred by German forces as part of the Intelligenzaktion campaign, with some later murdered in concentration camps. Bobrowniki had a population of 980.
