Kruszwica, Medieval municipality in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The town extends along Lake Gopło with a 32-meter Mouse Tower standing on the Rzępowski Peninsula as its central architectural element.

Kruszwica served as a royal capital during the Piast dynasty in the 10th and 11th centuries, marking its significance in early Polish statehood.

The Romanesque Collegiate Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul from the 12th century represents the architectural traditions of medieval Poland.

Visitors can engage in water activities on Lake Gopło, including boat trips, yacht rentals, and swimming during the warmer months.

The Mouse Tower connects to a legend where mice devoured Prince Popiel and his wife after he poisoned his twelve uncles.
