After the castle, there is only a tower, a well-kept area, you can walk and relax. The small museum is closed. Generally, I do not recommend a special trip, but if you are somewhere in the area, you can easily go there.

1. The first wooden and earth stronghold was conquered by the Teutonic Knights in 1329. Casimir the Great regained Kujawy in 1343 and built a castle here in 1350 to protect Poland from the Teutonic Knights. 2. In the following years, the castle and the district office of Przedmieście were the queen's emoluments. Among others, Elżbieta Rakuszanka, Barbara Zapolya and Bona Sforza. 3. The castle was not destroyed by warfare, but fell into decline due to the decline in its defensive value due to the development of weapons. First, the moat was filled in and then the castle itself was demolished. 4. All that remained of the castle was the tower, which became the bell tower of the Evangelical church built next to it in 1828. The church was built by German colonists who came here. 5. After the war, the church was taken away from the evangelical commune and rebuilt into a grain warehouse of GS Samopomocy Peasants. In 1960, the castle was taken over by the city, and in 1977 a community center was opened here.

Only the name remained of the castle. From what I learned, a church was built on the ruins of the castle and now there is a Cultural Center there. There is practically nothing to see. You can enter the tower, but there is nothing interesting there. Even the view through the tower's windows is severely limited by trees.

Great place, pleasant, quiet Although there are sometimes men who like alcohol hanging out there, I have never experienced any unpleasant behavior from them On the contrary, one gentleman saw that I was taking photos with the girl and even walked away so as not to disturb us There is a few graffiti on the wall, which spoils the view of the building, but the park around the castle is very nice and worth seeing, even if just passing through. It will also be a great place for anglers because there is a special pier for them and a small piece of beach where you can sit comfortably.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
