Where did these horses come from?
- Already in 1788, Frederick II the Great agreed to establish a Stallion Stud in Kwidzyn in order to supply stallions to nearby provinces. Until 1888, the herd was located in the outer bailey of the Pomesan Chapter Castle in Kwidzyn and could accommodate about 100 stallions.
- Over time, the area in front of the Castle turned out to be insufficient, so the herd was moved to the suburbs with access to green areas. The infrastructure of the new center was being built here – three stables, an indoor riding school, a tower with a windmill, and a housing estate for employees.
- At the end of the war, the Kwidzyn horses were evacuated. However, its post-war history began already in 1946. The fate of the then Training Center was different. In 1999, when the Kwidzyn State Treasury Stallion Stud was established. In April 2001, the facility was handed over to the Municipality of Kwidzyn.
