Bytów Castle, Medieval castle in Bytów, Poland
The rectangular fortress features three round towers named Młyńska, Różana, and Polna, plus a square Gunpowder Tower at its northern corner.
Construction of the castle began in 1398 under the supervision of Nikolaus Fellenstein, serving as a Teutonic Knights stronghold until 1410.
The North Wing houses the West Kashubian Museum, displaying regional artifacts, ethnographic collections, and temporary art exhibitions throughout the year.
The castle complex includes a municipal library in the Widows' House, while the Knights' House contains historical exhibits and educational facilities.
The round towers of Bytów Castle represent the first documented artillery towers in Central Europe, preceding the development of medieval rondels.
