Zamek Bierzgłowski ( German Birglau Castle ) is a district of the municipality Łubianka ( Luben ) in the powiat Toruński ( Thorn ) of the Polish Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship .
location
The place is located in the Kulmerland in the former West Prussia , about 14 kilometers northwest of the city of Toruń ( Thorn ) and 32 kilometers east of the city of Bydgoszcz ( Bromberg ). The village of Bierzgłowo ( Birglau ) is about 3 km away. Zamek Bierzgłowski had a train station on the Toruń – Chełmno railway line .
history
Until the end of the First World War, the village was an estate district, called Schloss Birglau , in the district of Thorn , district of Marienwerder , in the province of West Prussia .
There is a Gothic crusader castle from the time of the Teutonic Order , which was built in the years 1270–1305 instead of a castle built by the Teutonic Order around 1260 and which is one of the oldest of its kind. It was the seat of the Birgelow Commandery . The older castle was burned down after 1267, during the reign of Landmeister Ludwig von Baldersheim (1263–1269), when the Pruzzen invaded .
From 1520 onwards, Birglau Castle was owned by the city of Thorn.
In the 18th century, archaeological excavations in the sand hills in the area around Birglau Castle discovered numerous prehistoric graves.
After the First World War, the district with Birglau Castle had to be ceded to the Second Polish Republic in 1920 due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty establishing the Polish Corridor . With the attack on Poland in 1939, the region was annexed by the German Reich in violation of international law . Birglau Castle was assigned with the Thorn district to the Bromberg administrative district in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia .
After the end of the Second World War , the place came back to Poland.
