Modliborzyce [mɔdlibɔˈʐɨt͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dąbrowa Biskupia, within Inowrocław County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) west of Dąbrowa Biskupia, 13 km (8 mi) east of Inowrocław, and 29 km (18 mi) south-west of Toruń.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported to the Lublin District of the General Government (German-occupied central Poland), while their farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[2]
