Nowe

Nowe is a town on the Vistula River that spreads across rolling terrain surrounded by ancient defensive walls. Within its boundaries, a network of narrow streets and historic structures maintains its medieval character.

The settlement was founded in 1185 by Duke Sobieslaw I of Pomerania and developed into a strategic fortress by 1282. This early fortification shaped the town's economic and political role for centuries.

The town center displays Gothic buildings like Saint Matthew Church, and locals use the medieval castle today as a gathering place for community events and celebrations.

The town connects to larger cities through National Road 91 and the A1 motorway, with regular bus services to Bydgoszcz and Gdańsk. The best time to visit is during warmer months when narrow streets are easier to explore.

The town sits within the Kociewie ethnocultural region, which brings its own local traditions and speech patterns. Visitors who pay attention notice these regional characteristics in the celebrations and daily life of residents.
