After the castle, there is only a tower, a well-kept area, you can walk and relax. The small museum is closed. Generally, I do not recommend a special trip, but if you are somewhere in the area, you can easily go there.

1. The first wooden and earth stronghold was conquered by the Teutonic Knights in 1329. Casimir the Great regained Kujawy in 1343 and built a castle here in 1350 to protect Poland from the Teutonic Knights. 2. In the following years, the castle and the district office of Przedmieście were the queen's emoluments. Among others, Elżbieta Rakuszanka, Barbara Zapolya and Bona Sforza. 3. The castle was not destroyed by warfare, but fell into decline due to the decline in its defensive value due to the development of weapons. First, the moat was filled in and then the castle itself was demolished. 4. All that remained of the castle was the tower, which became the bell tower of the Evangelical church built next to it in 1828. The church was built by German colonists who came here. 5. After the war, the church was taken away from the evangelical commune and rebuilt into a grain warehouse of GS Samopomocy Peasants. In 1960, the castle was taken over by the city, and in 1977 a community center was opened here.

Only the name remained of the castle. From what I learned, a church was built on the ruins of the castle and now there is a Cultural Center there. There is practically nothing to see. You can enter the tower, but there is nothing interesting there. Even the view through the tower's windows is severely limited by trees.

Great place, pleasant, quiet Although there are sometimes men who like alcohol hanging out there, I have never experienced any unpleasant behavior from them On the contrary, one gentleman saw that I was taking photos with the girl and even walked away so as not to disturb us There is a few graffiti on the wall, which spoils the view of the building, but the park around the castle is very nice and worth seeing, even if just passing through. It will also be a great place for anglers because there is a special pier for them and a small piece of beach where you can sit comfortably.

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
