Description
Golub-Dobrzyń Castle is a four-wing fortress standing on a hill above the town, displaying Gothic brick walls with a Renaissance-style attic from the 17th century. The inner courtyard is surrounded by walls that frame the space and create multiple stories.
History
The castle was built by the Teutonic Order between 1293 and 1301 to protect the border and control the river crossing of the Drwęca. It played an important role in defending this border region.
Culture
The castle houses a collection of weapons, archaeological finds, and everyday objects from the region. The exhibition shows how people lived and worked here across centuries.
