Golub-Dobrzyń, Medieval castle town in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The Drwęca River divides this 750-hectare town into two distinct sections, with the Gothic castle standing prominently on the eastern bank.

Established in 1951 through the union of Golub and Dobrzyń, the settlement traces its origins to 1258 when Teutonic Knights constructed their fortress.

The Teutonic Castle hosts annual knights' tournaments in July, featuring participants performing medieval combat techniques and displaying period costumes.

The town center maintains several accommodation options within walking distance of the castle, Gothic church, and historical buildings from the 18th century.

The castle includes a special alcove where local tradition suggests visitors can make wishes, connected to Princess Anna Vasa's former residence.
