Dybów Castle
Zamek Dybów
A 15th-century brick castle ruin on the south bank of the Vistula, with views over the skyline of Toruń's old town.
Dybów Castle was built in the early 15th century by Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło on the south bank of the Vistula, to counter the Teutonic Order across the river. It later became a stronghold of Toruń and of royal power in Poland. Today the outer walls, gate tower and some buildings survive, along with a small exhibition, and historical reenactments are held in summer. The riverbank near the castle is one of the best vantage points for photographing the panorama of Toruń's old town, and you can walk there across Piłsudski Bridge.
