The Zamek Krzyżacki Castle is part of the long history of the Teutonic Order, a powerful military and religious organization that had great influence in Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages. Originally founded as a hospital order in the Holy Land, the Teutonic Order began conquering and Christianizing the pagan territories in what is now Poland and the Baltic States from the 13th century onwards, building numerous castles as administrative centers and military bases.

The castle itself served as an important fortress and administrative seat in the region, especially during the conflicts between the Teutonic Order and the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania. The famous Battle of Grunwald (1410), in which the Teutonic Knights suffered a decisive defeat against the combined Polish-Lithuanian forces, marked a turning point for the Order. Even though the castle was not abandoned afterward, the Teutonic Order gradually lost power.

Over the centuries, the castle underwent numerous changes and reconstructions, especially after the secularization of the Order in the 16th century, when it served various purposes, including as a residence and later as a storage facility. Today it is a testimony to this eventful history and an important place of remembrance of the region's medieval past.
