Grudziądz Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Grudziądz, Poland.

The remains of the castle include a massive brick tower named Klimek, which stands as the primary surviving structure along the Vistula River bank.

The Teutonic Knights constructed this defensive stronghold between 1270 and 1299 after claiming control of the region from the local Prussian tribes.

The castle served as a commandry center for the Teutonic Order, combining military defense functions with administrative duties for the surrounding territory.

Visitors can access the castle ruins throughout the year and observe the architectural elements that reveal medieval construction techniques.

The castle's main tower survived demolition in 1806 only through direct intervention by Queen Louise of Prussia.
