Piastoszyn is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kęsowo, within Tuchola County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. It is located in the Tuchola Forest in the historic region of Pomerania.

== History == The Teutonic Order, which annexed the area from Poland in the 14th century, had installed an Ordenshof (yard of the order) in Piastoszyn. In 1454, King Casimir IV Jagiellon signed the act of reincorporation of the region to the Kingdom of Poland, what was eventually recognized by the Teutonic Knights in 1466. Within Poland, Piastoszyn was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tuchola County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. In 1744 Paweł Rhode used to be Schulz and Oberschulz of Piastoszyn. It is documented, that Franz Lucowicz bought the village from royal starost in 1753 who gave it to the municipal of Piastoszynlater: He assigned it to Schulz (village major, lat. sculteto) Andreas Behrendt, son of Laurentius Behrendt, and the whole village in Piastoszyn. Andreas Behrendt and his wife Helene Elisabeth Patin from Ciechocin had been acknowledged by Polish King Stanisław August Poniatowski as Schulz of Piastoszyn during the same year. Andreas Behrendt's successor was his son Anton Berendt, followed by Anton Berendt's son Anton Joseph Behrendt.
