Sztum, Medieval castle town in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Sztum features a 13th-century stone fortress with high defensive walls, positioned strategically between Lake Sztumskie and Lake Barlewickie in northern Poland.
The Teutonic Knights established control of Sztum in 1236, constructing a fortified settlement that played a central role during conflicts between Poland and the Order.
The town celebrates its medieval heritage through annual festivals at the castle grounds, featuring traditional Polish music, dance performances, and regional crafts.
Sztum railway station connects travelers to major cities like Gdańsk and Malbork, while National Road 55 provides direct access to regional destinations.
A tornado struck Sztum on July 14, 2012, causing substantial damage to buildings and transforming the architectural landscape of this historical town.
