Kwidzyn Castle, Gothic castle in Kwidzyn, Poland.

The castle consists of a square formation with corner keeps, incorporating a cathedral on its eastern side and featuring red brick Gothic architecture.

Built between 1344 and 1400 by the Teutonic Order, the castle served as the residence for the Bishops of Pomesania and contained tombs of three Grand Masters.

The structure reflects the architectural traditions of medieval Prussia, combining defensive fortifications with religious functions through its integrated cathedral design.

The castle now functions as a branch of the Malbork Castle Museum, offering exhibitions about the history of the Lower Vistula region.

A 56-meter-long arcade bridge connects the main building to a sanitary tower known as the dansker, representing the longest such medieval structure in Europe.
