The castles of the Teutonic Order are a piece of Polish history and the Bytów Castle is an underestimated treasure among them - why? You will find out during this video. It is the only Crusader Castle that was built with the intention of using firearms for defensive purposes. But before this happened, the Crusaders settled in this land much earlier, building another Castle here. I tell you all this during the film, but again, that's not everything.
This film is the first part, which presents my trip to Western Pomerania, where along the way you will briefly visit other places such as Krakow or Gdańsk. You will also meet the farmers' strike and, of course, most importantly: you will hear about the very ancient origins of the Order's stronghold in Bytów dating back to the Middle Ages. I will briefly mention the struggles for this territory of the Pomeranian Princes and their adversaries, i.e. the Order, with which our Kingdom and our Kings also fought.
