Kwidzyn Castle, located in Kwidzyn, Poland, is a striking example of medieval architecture that dates back to the 14th century. Originally built by the Teutonic Knights, the castle served as a fortress and administrative center. Its most distinctive feature is the unique combination of a castle and a cathedral, connected by an elevated corridor. The castle includes a variety of architectural elements, such as a massive brick structure with defensive towers and a high Gothic cathedral. Today, it houses a museum that showcases regional history, including exhibits on the Teutonic Knights, medieval artifacts, and local culture.
