Abstract
This article presents written sources that make it possible to reconstruct the historyand appearance of the castle in Kruszwica, built in the mid-14th century on the initiative of KingCasimir the Great. These are primarily the lustrations of the royal estates and Erik JönssonDahlbergh’s engraving included in Samuel Pufendorf’s work De rebus a Carolo GustavoSueciae Rege gestis. However, basic information about the Crusaders’ defensive foundationis provided by archaeological research, which verifies and supplements previous historicalknowledge. Thus, the results of several archaeological explorations are described, which madeit possible to secure the remains of the fortress, reconstruct its layout and form, as well as itslater fate in the 19th–21st centuries.
