Nidzica Castle

Highlight • Castle

First, some information about visiting, namely it is closed on Mondays. The construction of the castle began around 1370, and in 1409, a Teutonic prosecutor was already residing there. On July 12, 1410, on the way with an army into the depths of the Teutonic state, the undefended castle was occupied by Polish troops. During the Hunger War in 1414, the castle was besieged by Polish knights and captured on July 6 after an eight-day siege. In 1454, the castle was occupied by the pro-Polish Prussian Confederation. In February 1455, it was handed over to Czech mercenaries led by Jan Kolda of Žampach, who repelled the invasion of the Teutonic troops on April 28. In 1517, the castle's outer bailey was expanded and fortified. In 1784, the outer bailey burned down. The castle was damaged most by French soldiers, who were stationed here intermittently in the years 1806–1812. The building, devastated by the Napoleons, was saved from total ruin by the court counselor Ferdynand Tymoteusz Gregorovius, an effective initiator of the reconstruction (1828–1830) of the medieval fortress to serve as a courthouse, private apartments and a prison. However, Gregorovius stipulated that the people of Nidzica should build him a monument. The monument was built only more than seventy years after the castle was rebuilt. The monument is located in the castle park. In 1945, the castle was not so lucky – it was bombed by the Russians and burned down, losing its ceilings and part of the walls. However, the decision was quickly made to rebuild it. In 1949, the building was cleared of rubble, and three years later, the first security works began. The full restoration of the monument, including the conservation of the preserved paintings in the chapel and refectory, began in 1961 and was completed in 1965, after which it was ceremonially handed over to local cultural and social institutions.

Currently, the castle serves as the city's center of business, culture and entertainment. It houses: the Museum of the Nidzica Region with an ethnographic and historical exhibition, the Nidzica Cultural Center, the Knights' Brotherhood of the Nidzica Commandery, the Hieronim Surpski Author's Gallery, a sculpture studio and a city library. There is also a hotel and a restaurant here. Admission to the outer bailey and the courtyard of the high castle is free, to the museum it is paid. The complex is surrounded by a dense 19th-century park.
