Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, Historical town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

Located on the elevated bank of the Drwęca River, Nowe Miasto Lubawskie covers 11.37 square kilometers with a population of 11,062 residents.

The town was founded in 1325 by Otto von Luttenberg under the Teutonic Order and received Kulm law rights in 1353 for settlement governance.

The town preserves medieval architecture through its Gothic gatehouses, including the Lubawa Gate and Brodnica Gate, which form part of the original fortification system.

The Museum of the Lubawa Region, housed in the Brodnica Gate, presents exhibits about the local history and development of the region.

The town's defensive walls formed an irregular pentagon with 21 rectangular half towers and three main gates connected by a moat fed by the Drwęca River.
