Papowo Biskupie
Poland, Poland
Papowo Biskupie is a village in north-central Poland's Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, serving as the seat of Gmina Papowo Biskupie in Chełmno County, located about 17 km southeast of Chełmno and 25 km north of Toruń in the historic Chełmno Land region of Pomerania.
First mentioned in 1222 as a royal village of the Polish Crown until 1505, when King Alexander Jagiellon granted it to the Chełmno Diocese, it features Gothic St. Nicholas Church and ruins of a Teutonic Order castle built in the 1280s from erratic stones and granite as an early commandry for economic and defensive purposes near a lake.
Annexed by Prussia in 1772 and part of Germany from 1871, it returned to Poland in 1918, with the castle decaying rapidly from the late 18th century after Prussian seizure, as locals quarried its materials.
