Przedecz Castle, Gothic castle in Przedecz, Poland

The castle stands on a small hill near Lake Przedecz, with a rectangular layout and a cylindrical tower measuring 7.5 meters in diameter.

King Casimir III the Great ordered the construction of this brick fortress around 1350 to protect Kujawy region from potential Teutonic Knights attacks.

The castle served as a strategic point between Torun, Leczyca, Sandomierz, and Krakow, controlling important trade routes towards Ruthenia during medieval times.

The medieval structure now houses a cultural center, with preserved underground vaulted cellars beneath the 19th-century neo-Gothic building.

The original defensive tower transformed into a church bell tower in 1789 when the castle ruins were converted into a Protestant church.
