The oldest part of the city - on this side of the Wierzyca River, there used to be a farm and a village belonging to Piotr Święca. Shortly after he sold the local lands to the Teutonic Knights, in 1305, under the direction of Theodotus from Florence, they began to mark out the area for the development of a new settlement. In this way, a spatial layout was created with a regular network of streets radiating from the centrally located square market square, which is larger than the Old Town Square in Warsaw.

Its construction began after the knights of the Teutonic Order settled on the left bank of the Wierzyca, which they acquired from the Święce family in 1305. They immediately began to fortify the settlement and build a Gothic temple with a basilica-style architectural layout within the defensive walls.

Church of St. Catherine in Starogard Gdański was built in 1802 on the foundations of a medieval church, and in 2003 the facility was entered into the register of monuments. It is the first Gothic church in this place built in the 15th century. It was originally built on the eastern side of the city walls, next to the old mill canal. It was probably a temple with a wooden frame, filled with brick. From 1577 it was used by Lutherans.

The market square in Starogard Gdański is the oldest part of the city. In the Middle Ages, on the left bank of the Wierzyca River, there was a farm and a village that belonged to Piotr Święca. After selling them to the Teutonic Knights, around 1305, they began to mark out the area for the development of a fortified settlement. At that time, the construction works were supervised by Theodotus from Florence, to whom Starogard owes its spatial shape with a regular network of streets radiating from the centrally located market square, whose square of 107 m × 107 m is larger than the Old Town Square in Warsaw. Without a doubt, the Teutonic Order contributed to the economic development of the town.
