Sobowidz Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sobowidz, Poland

Located on a peninsula by Lake Sobowidzkie, the castle features remaining Gothic cellars, moats, and an escarpment wall from its original structure.

The Teutonic Knights constructed this fortification in the early 14th century, which later became a residence for Polish district governors after 1466.

The castle served as an administrative center at the intersection of the old Gdańsk-Starogard route, reflecting the medieval power structure in Pomerania.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through the manor complex of Sobowidz, which maintains regular opening hours for historical site exploration.

The castle's underground Gothic cellars survived multiple destructions, including the Thirteen Years' War and the Swedish Deluge in the 17th century.
