As it stood in 1620
What Golub-Dobrzyń Castle looked like in its prime.
A compact four-wing brick fortress of red-brown masonry sitting on a grassy hill, its long curtain walls punctuated by tall, narrow arched window openings on one face and small slit windows elsewhere. The 17th-century Renaissance attic forms a light-coloured decorative band and parapet along the roofline, including large circular blind panels and shaped merlons; small green copper cupolas mark two attic corners. Rounded cylindrical corner towers of solid brick abut the main block; a pale plastered two-storey annex with a red tiled roof is attached to the principal façade.
Its story
The story of Golub-Dobrzyń Castle.
Golub Castle is a four-wing brick fortress of the Teutonic Order, begun at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries on a hill commanding the whole town of Golub-Dobrzyń, some 43 km north-east of Toruń. It was built as a conventual stronghold in the brick Gothic style as a look-out over the town below.
In the fourteenth century King Władysław I the Elbow-high of Poland tried to bring the stronghold into his realm. A Renaissance attic was added in the 17th century, softening the Gothic silhouette; restored in modern times, the castle has been adapted as a regional museum.
