Przezmark Castle, Teutonic castle in Przezmark, Poland

The fortress stands on a peninsula between Lakes Motława Wielka and Motława Mała, featuring a 35-meter high six-story prison tower with decorated brick patterns.

Built between 1316 and 1331 under Commander Luther of Brunswick, the castle served as a prosecutor's residence before becoming a seat for Teutonic Order officials.

The castle manufactured weapons for Teutonic knights during the 15th century and later produced firearms and ammunition in specialized workshops within its walls.

Visitors can climb the preserved prison tower, which now functions as an observation point with restored interiors displaying weapon replicas and period furniture.

Archaeological research in 2017 revealed remnants of a cylindrical tower in the north-western corner of the outer bailey, confirming the castle's original three-part layout.
