Golub, Medieval town with castle in Kuyavian-Pomeranian region, Poland

The Gothic brick castle stands on a hilltop, featuring a Renaissance cornice and commanding views across the town and surrounding forests.

First recorded in 1258, Golub received its town charter when Teutonic Knights constructed a fortress between 1296 and 1306.

The castle hosts international knights' tournaments each July, drawing participants and spectators from numerous European countries to the medieval grounds.

Visitors can explore the castle interior through guided tours, which include exhibits of medieval armor and artifacts from the Battle of Grunwald.

Princess Anna Vasa transformed the Gothic structure into a Renaissance palace during her residency in the early 17th century.
