The Castle of the Pomesanian Chapter, Kwidzyn, Poland (part 2 of 2)

What distinguishes the castle in Kwidzyn from other castles is its characteristic, largest latrine in the world! The dansker, because that is what we are talking about, is a sanitary and defensive tower at the same time, it dates back to 1384 and is 25 meters high. It is connected to the rest of the castle by a pointed arch bridge supported by five brick pillars, under which a stream flowed throughout the Middle Ages, carrying everything that was needed.

The covered bridge leading from the dansker to the castle at the height of the first floor is 54 m long and houses an interesting ethnographic exhibition with material treasures of the Lower Powiśle. It tells about the Mennonites - the Dutch people who settled in Żuławy in the 16th century and were co-owners of this land until the end of World War II. Very hard-working, they contributed to the creation of a specific landscape here - architectural and cultural.

The Castle of the Pomesanian Chapter, Kwidzyn, Poland (part 1 of 2)

Construction began at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Most of the construction work on the castle was completed in the years 1340–1350, and in the 1380s, dansker was completed.

Initially, the castle was an independent structure, and only later was it connected to the cathedral, and its south-eastern corner tower was transformed into a bell tower. The completion of the new cathedral church is dated to the period of Bishop Jan Mönch’s rule (1377–1409). At that time, a unique architectural complex was created in Kwidzyn, which included two castles (bishops’ and chapters’), the cathedral and the town. The individual sections had their own fortifications, and connected by walls, they created a defensive system perfectly integrated into the natural conditions of the area. The castle became the seat of the Pomesanian chapter, as well as a religious and political-administrative center.

Under the provisions of the Second Peace of Toruń, Kwidzyn, together with the bishop’s dominion, was granted to the Teutonic Order. In 1478, Polish troops captured Kwidzyn. The townspeople took refuge in the chapter’s castle and set fire to the town. During the war, the castle was seriously damaged – during renovation works carried out in 1487, the damaged corner towers were demolished.

In 1520, as a result of further military operations, Polish troops completely destroyed the bishop’s castle and most likely damaged the chapter castle.

In the lower part of the photo, on the right side, there are the pointed remains of two tree trunks cut down by beavers. Right next to it, on the left, lies a long, cut-down tree. Next to these tree trunks lies a layer of wood shavings made by beaver teeth. On the left side of the frame we can see a fragment of an alder trunk, which at the bottom has already been partially cut by beavers. The central part of the photo is a wet, swampy forest with a puddle reflecting the sky and trees. Around this patch of water grows green spring grass. In the upper part of the photo you can see the bottoms of the tree trunks of this marshy forest. In the upper part of the photo you can see the bottoms of the tree trunks of the marshy forest and behind them a narrow strip of beige reeds. The scene is illuminated by the warm afternoon sun, but late afternoon shadows are already visible between the trees.

Courtyard of the Teutonic Castle in Sztum, Poland

The photo shows a view from the preserved part of the castle onto the courtyard with the 19th-century Prussian court building.

The castle, built by the Teutonic Order in the years 1326-1335, was intended to protect the route to the more important fortress in Malbork, which had been built earlier.

The stronghold was burned and recaptured by Polish troops heading for Grunwald in 1410. Then, as a result of the Thirteen Years’ War, the castle in Sztum became the seat of Polish starosts.

The most important history of the castle can be actually concluded in the 17th century. As a result of the Swedish wars, the castle was reduced to ruin. During the Deluge, it was destroyed by a two-hundred-strong Swedish force, and the ruins were additionally partially demolished by the Prussian authorities.

Two wings of the castle have survived to this day, along with the remains of the towers and the peripheral walls. They were rebuilt in the 19th century. In the most characteristic of them, you can see the stump of the prison tower. You can also admire the peripheral walls, the remains of the gate tower, and the courthouse and prison building added in the 19th century. The castle in Sztum, unlike other Teutonic strongholds, is not built on a quadrangle plan, but an irregular pentagon. This is related to the shape of the island on which it was located. The island between the Sztum and Barlewickie lakes provided natural protection.

A beaver dam in a swampy forest in southern Poland.

The photo shows a beaver dam on a small, brown river that flows through a swampy forest. One third of the frame from the bottom shows a dam built of sticks debarked by beavers. Fresh green grass grows between the sticks. The center of the frame is a brown, swampy river that flows lazily from the right side of the frame and spreads wide in front of the dam. To the left of the water lies the crooked trunk of an old tree. The upper part of the frame is a dark swamp forest covered mainly with alder. Between the trees fresh spring grass. The entire scene is illuminated by the soft, warm afternoon sun.

The photo shows a group of cracked rocks on Babia Góra Mountain. The rocks occupy more than half of the lower right corner of the photograph. The rest of the photo is an intensely blue, cloudless sky. To the left of the rocks, in the lower left corner, you can see several small, wind-beaten spruce trees, and behind them, forested mountains. In the foreground, just below the rocks, there is still snow. In the upper part of the rocks you can see interesting white ice formations, created by strong winds.

The upper part is the snow-capped Tatra Mountains. The mountains are slightly hazy, photographed from a distance of about 40 km in the afternoon sun. Above the mountains a narrow strip of blue sky and on it a strip of clouds parallel to the mountains.

On the right side of the photo you can see a large trunk of an old alder. On the left, a wild plant creeping along the ground and emerging from the trunk. This plant is Dentaria glandulosa (Cardamine glanduligera). PL: Żywiec gruczołowaty. A typical forest plant, especially in beech forests. Dentaria glandulosa forms characteristic green carpets in early spring, when many other plants have not yet developed leaves. It is a plant with beautiful purple flowers and palmate-trifoliate leaves, found in the Carpathian Mountains and Subcarpathian region, as well as lower down, but adjacent to the mountains. I found this particular one about 50 km south of Cracow, on the edge of a beech forest, close to a small forest stream.
