Święte (Polish pronunciation: [ˈɕfjɛntɛ]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Koneck, within Aleksandrów County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Koneck, 11 km (7 mi) south-east of Aleksandrów Kujawski, and 30 km (19 mi) south of Toruń.
