Teutonic Castle in Bierzgłowski Castle
Highlight • Castle
The castle's location allowed for a direct view of the fortress in Toruń, and the castle itself provided an excellent observation point.
On the northwest side stood a building with a basement housing a chapel, refectory, and chapter house, connected to the southwest wing by cloisters.
The courtyard is enclosed by a wall with an entrance gate. The outbuildings included stables, barns, workshops, and a granary. In 1404, the castle housed as many as 189 horses: the knights' war horses, the cadets' horses, draft horses, post horses, mares, and foals. From 1386 to 1415, the castle was the seat of the Biergłowice commanders. During the Thirteen Years' War, in February 1454, the castle was occupied by the Prussian Confederation and became the administrative seat of the Teutonic Order's procurator. From 1474 to 1840, it was owned by the Toruń authorities. After a fire in 1522, the castle fell into ruin. Since 1840, when it passed into private hands, the southwest wing and gate tower were rebuilt. On November 3, 1908, another devastating fire broke out in the rebuilt buildings, destroying the roofing. In 1911, reconstruction was carried out according to a design by Conrad Steinbrecht. The history of the Teutonic Order (Full name: Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem), as is almost always the case with "holy" organizations, is a centuries-long history of constant violence. Only the Reformation stopped this mercantile activity. However, it is worth mentioning the efforts to establish a university, a school for girls (very rare at that time) and a set of geometric and theological laws and treatises.
The castle was built in the years 1232-1270 (very quickly) by the Teutonic Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the German House in Jerusalem. Steep slopes defend him from the west and south, walls and moat from the north and east.
The location of the castle allowed eye contact with the fortress in Toruń, and the castle itself was an excellent observation point.
From the north-west there was a basement building housing a chapel, refectory, chapter house connected by a cloister with the south-west wing.
The courtyard closes the wall with an entrance gate. In the economic ward there were stables, barns, workshops and a granary. In 1404, there were as many as 189 horses in the castle: war steeds, knights, knechts, draft horses, post horses, mares and foals.
In the years 1386 - 1415 this castle was the seat of the Bierzłów commanders. During the Thirteen Years' War in February 1454, the castle was taken by the army of the Prussian Union and became the administrative seat of the Teutonic prosecutor. In the years 1474-1840 it was owned by the authorities of Toruń. After a fire that took place in 1522, the castle fell into ruins. From 1840, when it passed into private hands, the south-west wing and the gate tower were rebuilt. On November 3, 1908 another severe fire broke out in the rebuilt buildings, which destroyed the roofing. In 1911 a reconstruction was carried out according to the design of Conrad Steinbrecht. The history of the Teutonic Order (Full name: The Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem), as it is almost always the case with "holy" organizations, is a centuries-old series of constant violence. Only the Reformation stopped mercantile activity this holiday. However, one should mention the efforts to create a university, a girls' school (very rare at that time) or a collection of geometrical and theological laws and treaties.
