MUST SEE: The ruins of the Teutonic Order Castle

The castle was built in 13^th century on site of former fortified settlement. That was why it was an unusual horseshoe shape. The inhabitants were 12 order knights and a commander representing the Teutonic Order power on these lands. In 1454 the inhabitants of Torun instigated an uprising against the Teutonic Order; they took over the castle and pulled it down. Nowadays, the only remains of the castle are Gdanisko, w former lavatory tower, and picturesque ruins. The ruins serve as a background for many concerts, and tournaments.
