Dybów Castle (PL: Zamek Dybowski) is located on the southern bank of the Vistula, across from Toruń's Medieval Centre. These well-kept ruins are located near what was the border of the Polish Kingdom and the state of the Teutonic Knights.
Dybów Castle (PL: Zamek Dybowski) in Toruń.
Built by Władysław II Jagiełło during the period between 1424–1428, it acted as a customs station between the two rival powers. The castle was burned down in 1656 by the Swedes during the Swedish-Polish wars. In the 18th century, the castle was owned by the Dębski family, and a distillery was opened. In 1813, 40 French troops occupying the castle, under the command of Lieutenant Savary, withstood a three-month siege by the Russians. The castle has survived to this day in the form of ruins, with preserved perimeter walls, and a two-storey gate tower and fortifications. If you've made the effort to cross over to this side of the river, consider visiting Kępa Bazarowa and the Vistula River viewing point.
