The Teutonic Knights founded an Ordensburg castle in 1232 and a town the following year. Presently, the town of Kwidzyn contains the partially ruined 14th century brick Gothic Ordensburg castle of the Teutonic Order. Connected to the castle to the east is a large cathedral (built 1343-1384) containing the tombs of the bishops as well those of three Grand Masters of the Teutonic Knights.
The literally outstanding feature of the castle is a sewer tower ("lavatory tower") which is connected to it by a bridge. The tower used to be placed at the river which has changed its course since, leaving it on dry land. The photo shows this tower and the bridge.
