The castle in Gniew is one of the most powerful Teutonic strongholds on the left bank of the Vistula, built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. For centuries, it played an important military and administrative role in the Teutonic state, and after being incorporated into Poland, it became the seat of royal starosts. In the 17th century, it was associated with the figure of Jan Sobieski. The castle played an important role during the Polish-Teutonic wars and the so-called War for the Vistula Mouth.

Today, the castle is beautifully restored and is a tourist attraction with numerous historical events, such as knight tournaments and battle reenactments. Visitors can see the recreated interiors and spend the night in the castle apartments.

The castle in Gniew lies on the so-called The Gothic Castles Trail. This trail is several hundred kilometers long in northern Poland. On the trail, you can see 12 Gothic castles located in the areas of Warmia, Masuria, Kociewie, Powiśle and Kashubia.

A place worth visiting due to its history and a nice view of the Vistula Valley
