The village is located on the route connecting Piwnice with Unisław. There is no evidence confirming that Nicolaus Copernicus stayed in Świerczynki, but the village, its history, and monuments were certainly well known to the future astronomer. In the 13th century, the Prussian leader Pipin is said to have had his fortified stronghold here. From the 15th to the 19th century, the village was mainly owned by Benedictine nuns from Toruń, with a break during the Reformation, when it was owned by the city council of Toruń. In Świerczynki, there is a single-nave stone and brick Gothic church dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, which is evidence of the parish network of the Chełmno diocese created during that period, which was partially destroyed during the Thirteen Years' War (1454-1466).
