Brodnica Castle, Gothic castle in Brodnica, Poland.

The fortress includes a 54-meter octagonal tower, four wings surrounding an inner courtyard, and defensive walls along the Drwęca River bank.

Construction of the stone stronghold began in the early fourteenth century under Teutonic Knights rule and reached completion between 1335 and 1337.

The castle served as residence for the Działyński family and later Anna Vasa of Sweden, sister of Polish King Sigismund III Vasa.

The castle basement contains permanent and temporary exhibitions, while visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views of Brodnica.

During archaeological excavations in 1940, researchers discovered underground storage rooms containing medieval food preservation systems and original kitchen facilities.
