Człuchów Castle, Gothic castle in Człuchów, Poland.
The castle includes a central octagonal tower reaching 46 meters high, surrounded by defensive walls and former moats between two lakes.
The Teutonic Knights constructed this fortress in 1325 as a commandry after purchasing the land for 250 silver marks from the Poniec family.
The castle represents medieval military architecture and served as an administrative center for the Teutonic Order in the western region of their state.
Visitors can climb the renovated tower for views of the surrounding area and explore the museum displaying regional artifacts and medieval weaponry.
This fortress remained unconquered during multiple sieges in 1414 and 1433, making it the most resistant castle in the Pomeranian region.
