Człuchów, gmina Człuchów, powiat człuchowski, woj. pomorskie
The remains of one of the largest defensive complexes of the Teutonic Knights (about 3 ha, second only to Malbork) in Człuchów - today dominated by the mighty tower of the High Castle (46 m).
Construction began after 1312, when the Order purchased Człuchów, and was completed around 1365. After a fire in 1793, the residents obtained permission from King Frederick William II to demolish it, and the bricks recovered were used to rebuild the burnt houses.
The mighty tower of the High Castle (46 m) has survived to this day, offering a panorama of Człuchów and its surroundings.
Człuchów, Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Note: a supplement to the existing entry in the database about the castle in Człuchów - it concerns the surviving tower and relics of the Teutonic complex.
