HISTORY
The former Prussian fortress, which was occupied by
the Teutonic Knights in 1233, received the city rights
during the same year. From 1285 to 1587 Marienwerde
(Virgin Mary's Island), as the Teutons had originally
called the settlement, was a seat of the Pomezanian
bishopric Diocese. In 1440 there was established the
Prussian Union - today the Pomezanian's cathedral chapter
is the most precious historic and architectural treasures
of Kwidzyn. The wings of the castle with towers at the
corners belonged to the defense system. Main tower today
dominates the entire massif of the castle, which was
also a bell tower lookout. Attraction of the castle
tower is a characteristic tower "dansker"
known as gdanisko of 1384. It was set by more than 50
meters from the west wing of the castle and the castle
was combined with a long five spanning porches. Today
the castle houses the Museum of the Castle. Kwidzyn
history, its monuments and picturesque surroundings
are enough attractions to visit for even the most demanding
tourists. Kwidzyn inhabited by about 40,000 residents
and is a thriving center of socio-economic development.
The town develops as a paper industry, electronics and
food industries. The town offers plenty of accommodations
in hotels and guesthouses. The Kwidzyn Cultural Centre
and the Sports and Recreation Centre offers year-round
attractive offers for local residents and the tourists.
