This town lies on the Drwęca River, not far from Toruń. Towering on a steep hill is the monumental castle, build in the late 13th- early 14th century for the Teutonic Knights. The castle's most famous owner was Anna Jagiellonka, sister of King Sigismund III Vasa. She had the castle expanded and surrounded by magnificent gardens. Today the castle is famous for knights' tournaments and other events held in historical costume.
