Kurzętnik Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Drwęca River bank in Kurzętnik, Poland

The rectangular fortress spans 110 meters in length and 42 meters in width, featuring a main building of 25 by 27 meters in the southern section.

The castle, built by Teutonic Knights in the mid-14th century, endured attacks from Polish forces in 1414 and sustained major damage during the Swedish invasion of 1656.

This defensive structure represents the architectural methods of medieval northern Poland, incorporating erratic stones with minimal brick elements in its construction.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a designated path from the local church, with no entrance fees required for exploring the archaeological site.

The fortress maintains its original walls reaching 5 meters in height, with two defensive towers integrated into the longer sections of the perimeter.
