Rogóźno-Zamek is a small village in north-central Poland's Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Grudziądz County, within Gmina Rogóźno, located about 5 km west of Rogóźno town, 7 km northeast of Grudziądz, and 57 km north of Toruń at the mouth of the Gardęga River into the Osa.

It is renowned for the ruins of a Teutonic Knights castle built between 1250-1260, initially as a wooden stronghold and later rebuilt in brick around 1285 as a commandry seat on a high hill, featuring three parts including an upper ward, baileys, and strategic defenses along a key trade route.

The fortress served as a komtur's residence until 1333, then a wójtostwo until burned by retreating Knights in 1454 during the Thirteen Years' War, after which it fell into ruin following partial disassembly in the 17th-18th centuries.
