Świecie Castle, Gothic castle in Swiecie, Poland
The fortress stands between the Vistula and Wda rivers with four cylindrical towers at its corners and thick stone walls built in Gothic style.
The Teutonic Knights constructed this fortress between 1335 and 1350, making it a strategic military outpost for controlling trade routes along the Vistula River.
The castle maintains elements of medieval military architecture through its defensive walls, moats, gates, and preserved living quarters of the Teutonic Knights.
The main tower reaches 34.75 meters in height and leans 106 centimeters from vertical axis, offering views of the surrounding Natura 2000 protected areas.
The castle features rare stone corbels supporting brick battlements, representing an architectural solution not found in other Polish medieval fortifications.
