Battle of Raszyn
- When
- 19 April 1809
- Where
- Raszyn
Forces of the Duchy of Warsaw under Poniatowski fought Austrian troops led by Archduke Ferdinand Karl Joseph on 19 April 1809.
The engagement involved a defensive stance by the Polish forces, who faced a larger Austrian army. The terrain, including the unfordable Utrata river, shaped the battle. A counterattack at Falenty re-established the Polish line, but the Austrians eventually captured Warsaw, a result viewed negatively by Polish society.
