Dybów Castle, Medieval castle ruins on the Vistula River in Toruń, Poland.

The castle features preserved perimeter walls, a two-story gate tower, and fortifications constructed with red brick in Gothic architectural style.

King Władysław II Jagiełło ordered the construction of Dybów Castle between 1424 and 1428 to establish a customs station near the Teutonic border.

The castle served as a residence for royal administrators and controlled trade activities between Polish territories and Teutonic-ruled Toruń across the river.

Visitors can access the castle ruins without entrance fees through Dybowska Street, with parking spaces available near the entrance.

French soldiers maintained a defensive position in the castle for three months during 1813 while under siege by Russian forces.
