Castle in Dzierzgoń, Medieval fortress ruins in Dzierzgoń, Poland
The castle stands on a hill near the Dzierzgoń River, featuring brick walls in monk bond pattern and granite foundations.
Heinrich von Wida constructed the castle in 1248 as a Teutonic Knights stronghold, which later served as headquarters for 42 different commanders.
The castle contained a chapel that captured King Jagiełło's interest, along with extensive storage facilities for weapons, supplies, and a thousand horses.
Visitors can reach the castle at Kajki 2 in Dzierzgoń, with several parking spots available near the entrance to the heritage site.
The castle maintained a weapons collection that surpassed the stores of Malbork Castle, including crossbows and early firearms for metal projectiles.
