Gniew, Medieval castle town in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The Gothic castle of Gniew rises on the left bank of the Vistula River, with its red brick walls and defensive towers dominating the landscape.

The Teutonic Knights constructed the fortress in the late 13th century, making it their first stronghold on the left bank of the Vistula River.

The castle regularly hosts medieval tournaments and historical reenactments that showcase the traditions and warfare techniques of the Teutonic Order period.

Visitors can reach Gniew by taking a bus from Gdańsk Main Station, with the journey lasting approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.

King John III Sobieski built the adjacent Baroque Marysieńka Palace specifically for his wife Marie Casimire while serving as the local starost.
