The six-year Truce of Altmark (or Treaty of Stary Targ) was signed on September 25, 1629 at the Altmarkt (Stary Targ), near Danzig (Gdańsk) by Sweden and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during Thirty Years' War. Sweden retains control of Livonia and the mouth of the Vistula river. Sweden also evacuated most of the Duchy of Prussia, but keeps the coastal cities. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth gets back other Swedish gains since the 1625 invasion. The greater part of Livonia north of the Western Dvina (Vidzeme) was ceded to Sweden, though Latgale, the southeastern area, remained under Commonwealth rule. Sweden will receive right to 2/3 of all the shipping tolls at ports of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, such as Danzig and Elbląg (Elbing) and from the Duchy of Prussia ports for the next six years. These shipping tolls financed Sweden's involvement in the Thirty Years' War. In 1635, the truce was extended, but Sweden gave up the Prussian ports. In turn Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceded most of Livonia with Riga, keeping the Daugavpils area. The Truce of Altmark was signed shortly after Sweden was defeated by Commonwealth and Holy Roman Imperial troops at Trzciana (Honigfelde) (also Sztum (Stuhm), whereby King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden narrowly escaped capture.
