Dybovskaya - castle built in the middle of the fifteenth century by order of King Wladyslaw Jagiello. The fortress was built on the left bank of the Vistula River to control river traffic on the Polish-Teutonic border.

Castle Dybowski was a rectangular three-storey building, covered with a gable roof with peaks. In the second half of the fifteenth century, it was built around the defensive tower, which served as an excellent place to combat firearms. In 1431 the castle was conquered by the Teutonic Knights and burned. Even four years later, the fortress once again moved to the Poles.

In 1454 King Casimir IV issued here Neshavskie statutes - a set of certain privileges for the support of the Polish gentry in the Thirty Years War. During the Swedish-Polish War, the castle was burned down by the Swedes in 1656. In 1703, during the siege of Torun by the Swedes, the castle was carried Dybovskaya fire on the city.

In the eighteenth century it belonged to the family Dybovskaya and after the partition of Polish lands in its territory has been opened Distillery.

To this day the castle is preserved in the form of ruins, but today you can see the surviving walls, two-story gate and castle fortifications. At the end of the twentieth century in the castle excavations were carried out. Approximately 500 meters from the castle in 2000-2002 had traces of the original location Nieszawa - the city that existed in the fifteenth century, which was attacked and destroyed by the Teutonic Knights. Then, under the pressure of Casimir IV, Nieszawa moved to its present location, 35 km from Torun upriver.
