A 14th-century stronghold located on the peninsula between the lakes Motława Wielka and Motława Mała, erected on the command of commander Luther of Braunschweig. She served as the seat of the prosecutor and then the Teutonic head. Currently preserved in ruins, it is private property. Once there was a whole Teutonic castle in that place.

A 14th-century stronghold located on the peninsula between the lakes Motława Wielka and Motława Mała, erected on the command of commander Luther of Braunschweig. She served as the seat of the prosecutor and then the Teutonic head. Currently preserved in ruins, it is private property. Once there was a whole Teutonic castle in that place. The original entrance to the castle led through the foregate, now completely destroyed [3]. It led to the outer ward, on which stood a tower (35 meters high), preserved on a rectangular plan, and a group of farm buildings (preserved in ruins). The castle tower served both defensive and signaling functions, typical of Teutonic castles, as well as prison (cellars). There was another cylindrical tower in the outer ward. An additional drawbridge over the wet moat (now dried) led to the main castle. The main castle was a quadrangle measuring 47 meters by 73 meters, surrounded by two lines of defensive walls. The basic component of this part of the foundation was initially a two-storey, inhabited by knights building with a chapter house and a chapel, later expanded. This building was connected to the sanitary tower, the defensive tower and the treasury tower. Of these towers, only a fragment of the latter has survived to this day. There are also small fragments of the outer walls and the outline of the hall in the east wing based on granite pillars. The outline of the entrance gate is also legible.
