## About

Chełmno is a town in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship above the Vistula valley. Its medieval walls and brick churches reflect its role in the lands of the Teutonic Order.

Not Chełm in eastern Poland. The Chełmno extermination camp was at Chełmno nad Nerem, a different settlement. Input label is Ukrainian or indirect; local\_name gives the native spelling.
