March 29, 2026, Dawny Cmentarz Katolicki

It served the city's residents from 1911, abolished in 1997. The layout of the alleys, old trees, a memorial stone, and remnants of the gate remain. A connecting path between Hallera Street and the bike path encircling the center runs through the area of the former cemetery.

Built in the 14th century from brick, this is the beautiful Kzyrzanski parish church.

A very good spa hotel on the grounds of Gniew Castle. The rooms are well-equipped with a castle atmosphere. From €60 per room. Good food.

The gatehouse is the entrance to the castle grounds and the Knights' Hotel. The ticket office for the castle and museum is also located here.

A very pretty little market square in the heart of the small town of Gniew. Almost all the houses have been newly restored in recent years and represent noteworthy architecture. Here and there you'll also discover a few little highlights, and the castle isn't far away either.

The castle in Kwidzyn is an impressive Gothic stronghold from the 14th century, the former seat of the Pomesanian chapter. Its massive walls and characteristic sanitary-defense tower, connected to the castle by the longest covered porch in the world, are a symbol of medieval defensive architecture in these areas. The castle was not only a religious and administrative center, but also played an important role in the Polish-Teutonic conflicts and in the Priests' War. Rebuilt and adapted many times over the centuries, today it houses a museum and is one of the most important historical attractions in the region.

The small Gniew Market Square, paved with cobblestones and surrounded by tenement houses, has its own atmosphere, which is easy to fall in love with. The most valuable and largest complex of historic tenement houses in the Pomeranian Voivodeship has been preserved here. The history of some of them dates back to the 14th century, and rebuilt in the 18th century, they still have preserved historical architectural elements and furnishings in some places. On the western frontage of the Market Square, i.e. the main square of the city, stand the so-called "Gniew Leby" - perfectly preserved 15th-century arcade houses, not found in other cities in Pomerania. In the middle of the Market Square stands the City Hall - the seat of the Gniew City Office. The building was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, it was a quadrangular building with an internal courtyard, a tower and stalls in the ground floor. Today, its oldest elements are the cellars and the ground floor. In the north-eastern corner of the square, you can see a historic well - a pump from 1873. Just a step away from here is the Gothic parish church and the magnificent Gothic, Teutonic castle of Gniew, which now houses a hotel. https://www.polskieszlaki.pl/rynek-w-gniewie.htm

The viewing platform in the Wiosło Małe Reserve (Gniew commune) is not high, about ten meters. However, it offers a fantastic view of the Vistula.
