Kwidzyn
Kwidzyn, German Marienwerder, is a town in northern Poland near the lower Vistula. The Teutonic Order founded a castle there in 1233 during its conquest of Pomesania, and it became the seat of the cathedral chapter of the Bishopric of Pomesania, whose brick Gothic castle and cathedral of the 14th century still stand. It remained German until 1945.
