Pokrzywno Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Pokrzywno, Poland.

The castle remains stand on a hill between two streams, with preserved sections including the gate of the upper ward and fragments of northern walls.

Built by the Teutonic Knights around 1250, the castle served as a commandery until 1416 and later became an administrative center for Polish starosts.

The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Lawrence in 1339, represented the religious significance of Teutonic fortifications in medieval Chelmno Land.

The ruins are located 8 kilometers west of Gruta and 7 kilometers southeast of Grudziądz, accessible through an eastern road approach.

The gatehouse features a trapezoidal foregate with pointed arcades and contains wall holes that once held defensive barrier bars.
