A total of 87 historic spearheads, arrowheads and other artefacts have been discovered at the site of the 15th century Battle of Grünwald.

The battle took place on 15 July 1410. It was part of the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War, during which the Lithuanians defeated the Teutonic Knights of Germany and Prussia. It was the moment that the balance of power in Central and Eastern Europe shifted decisively towards Lithuania and Poland.
