Gniew

The Vistula defines the setting of Gniew — its broad valley and elevated bank have shaped a town that rises above the river. Brick Gothic Gniew Castle, built by the Teutonic Order around the turn of the 14th century, is the town’s principal landmark and recalls its role in the medieval state of the Order. Below the fortress, the compact Old Town follows a historic street pattern around its market square. Gniew remains a small Pomeranian town where the Vistula’s scale contrasts with the close-grained medieval centre.
