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 Gniew is one of the most powerful Teutonic strongholds on the left bank of the Vistula, built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. For centuries, it played an important military and administrative role in the Teutonic state, and after being incorporated into Poland, it became the seat of royal starosts. In the 17th century, it was associated with the figure of Jan Sobieski. The castle played an important role during the Polish-Teutonic wars and the so-called War for the Vistula Mouth. Today, the castle is beautifully restored and is a tourist attraction with numerous historical events, such as knight tournaments and battle reenactments. Visitors can see the recreated interiors and spend the night in the castle apartments.

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
