Golub Castle
Zamek w Golubiu
A hilltop Teutonic Order castle distinguished by its Renaissance attic; a knights' tournament is held here every summer.
Golub Castle was built in the early 14th century as a Teutonic Order stronghold. In the 17th century, Anna Vasa, sister of a Swedish king, remodelled it, adding a Renaissance attic and corner towers. The castle houses a museum with weapons, costumes and historical artefacts, and it also offers overnight accommodation. Every July the International Knights' Tournament is one of Poland's best-known medieval festivals. It is about 45 km from Toruń, roughly a 50-minute drive.
