September 23, 2024, Świdwin - Zamek XIII-XIVw.

built in the 13th century on the Rega River to protect trade routes from the Baltic Sea to the south of the continent and from Szczecin to Białogard. The castle's name comes from the Hospitallers, who had their commandery there from the 16th to the 19th century. Currently, the building houses the Municipal Library, the Zamek Cinema, the Tourist and Economic Information Centre and the Świdwin Cultural Centre.

What we can see today is not a castle, nor even its ruins. In 2015-2017, archaeological research was carried out on the former castle hill and some foundations were uncovered. Low, brick walls were built on them to mark the shape of the former castle.

Very nice, large castle. Wrongly called the Teutonic castle - it is the castle of the Knights of St. John

Very nice castle. Wrongfully called the Teutonic Knights' Castle, because it is a Knights' Castle, but a nice monument

The expansion of the fortified manor in Starogard, existing for generations, takes place in the years 1717-21, when the field marshal at the Prussian court of Frederick William I and the mayor of the city of Szczecin, Adrian Bernard von Borck, erects a magnificent baroque palace in the Dutch style, and his son Heinrich Adrian in 1743 added a new wing covered with a mansard roof, which enabled the creation of a representative courtyard. A garden was established next to the palace, which was later transformed into a landscape park. Initially, access to the palace led through the manor farm and was surrounded on three sides by farm buildings (stables, barns (one was circular) and workshops), further on, in the form of wings, farm and residential buildings for servants were added, but the new owner (Philipp von Borck) decided such a solution too rural and removed the farm buildings close to the palace and set up a lawn in front of the building (on which the cannon was placed) to increase the representativeness of the manor. The main building (without the wings) had dimensions of 33×14 meters, and on the ground floor of the building there were 11 rooms, the largest of which are the hall and the garden room. Two-story wings of the palace were added to the main building, to which later transverse annexes were added, where square tower buildings were the accent. Today, only ruins remain of the palace and farm. The facility is secured and open to the public.

the first wooden castle was built in 1260–1270. The first mention of the castle in a document issued on the occasion of the division of the duchy into districts appeared in 1295. It is known that the castle was divided and its owners were the Borek and Vidant families. In 1365, Vidanci sold their part to the Pomeranian prince Bogusław V. It is believed that at that time the castle was rebuilt into a fully brick building. In 1447, the castle returned to Borki in its entirety. However, the greatest destruction was caused by the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Russian army passing through it. Probably then the Borków castle was also destroyed. A modern manor house was built in its place in 1774. Around 1826, when the Borek family died out, the castle hill and landed estates were taken over by the von Bülow family. It was probably then that the half-timbered Borków manor house was demolished, and the hill and the surrounding area were afforested, creating the beginning of the park
