Kwidzyn has its own unique atmosphere and, of course, the Castle. Take Castles like the one in northern Poland and Malbork are a must-visit for every lover of old medieval history.
Today's episode of Past History takes us back to the times of the Crusader Order to one of their very important Castles. The castle is important due to its unique defensive solution. This is one of the few examples where the Gothic Cathedral is one complex with a fortified fortress.
There will be more about the Cathedral itself in the film, because it certainly deserves special attention due to the secrets hidden within it. Of course, the Gothic architecture itself and the valuable monuments collected in the church are another attraction of this building, but I will tell you about something else.
Probably not many of you know, but Dorota née Mąty was once imprisoned in this Cathedral at her own request. She was a Catholic saint who died here soon, becoming an object of cult and pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. Interestingly, researchers looking for her real grave accidentally discovered another secret of the Cathedral. These are the graves of three great Teutonic masters who were important to the Teutonic State and it was decided to bury them here under the floor of the Church.
