Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, Historical town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
Nowe Miasto Lubawskie is a town situated on the elevated bank of the Drwęca River in the Warmian-Masurian region. Several stone gatehouses from the medieval period still stand throughout the town, along with a museum that documents the area's past.
The town was founded in 1325 by Otto von Luttenberg under the Teutonic Order rule, and it gained Kulm law in 1353. These early years established it as a fortified settlement with formal governance rules.
The gatehouses that still stand show traces of the medieval fortification system that shaped the town's layout. Walking through the streets, visitors can see how these defensive structures defined the spaces where people gathered and lived.
The Museum of the Lubawa Region is housed in the Brodnica Gate and offers a good overview of local history. Walking through town allows you to connect the museum's exhibits with the medieval structures still visible on the streets.
The fortification walls formed an irregular pentagon shape with 21 rectangular half towers connected by a defensive moat. This moat was fed by water from the Drwęca River, creating a water-based defense system that was less common in medieval towns of this region.
