When looking at the castle from the outside, it is worth looking up. On the walls, you can still clearly see the characteristic oriels protruding from the facade. They served a very prosaic function – they were the castle's medieval latrines (toilets), from which waste fell directly down onto the castle slope.

You won't find one large stream here from which the river originates. Instead, at the bottom and on the slopes of the ravines, there are... several dozen, and according to some, even several hundred small springs and streams! All these threads slowly merge together, giving rise to the longest river in the region.

The river has its source in the Napiwoda Forests, where it is initially called the Koniuszanka stream. In the Koniuszanka I reserve, you can observe an amazing phenomenon – the stream suddenly... disappears underground and only reappears on the surface 2 kilometers later from seepage springs.

The construction of the castle began around 1398, the main western wing was completed in 1405, and the remaining works were completed in the spring of 1409[1]. The Teutonic procurator resided there. On July 12, 1410, on his way with his 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 and 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[2]. In 1517, the outer bailey was expanded and fortified. In 1784, the outer bailey burned down. In 1812, the castle was devastated by French troops. In the years 1828-1830 the castle was rebuilt into a court and prison. In the winter of 1945, Soviet troops bombarded the castle, which remained a ruin until its reconstruction in 1961-1965.
