Radzyń Chełmiński Castle, Gothic castle in Radzyń Chełmiński, Poland

The square fortress measures 52 by 51 meters with brick walls, featuring a preserved southern wing and remnants of the western outer wall.

The Teutonic Knights constructed the initial wooden fort in 1234, which was later rebuilt in brick between 1270 and 1285 following the Prussian Uprising.

The castle served as a central meeting point for knightly and monastic orders in 1329, where they gathered to discuss regional taxation matters.

The castle ruins stand between two lakes along the route from Grudziądz to Toruń, with visitor access and guided tours available throughout the year.

Jan Žižka, who later became a commander in the Hussite Wars, served in the Czech-Polish garrison after the castle changed hands in 1410.
