Dybowski castle, built in the mid fifteenth century by order of king Wladyslaw Jagiello. The fortress was built on the left Bank of the Vistula river to control river traffic in the Polish-Teutonic border.

Castle Dybowski was a rectangular three-storey building, covered with a gable roof with peaks. In the second half of the fifteenth century were built of round defensive towers, which served as a perfect place for combat firearms. In 1431 the castle was conquered by the Teutonic knights and burned. Already four years later the fortress was again ceded to the poles.

In 1454 king Casimir IV issued here Neshavski statutes – a set of specific privileges to ensure the support of the Polish nobility in the Thirty years war. During the Swedish-Polish war, the castle was burnt by the Swedes in 1656. In 1703, during the siege of toruń by the Swedes, from the castle Dybowski was fired by the city.

In the eighteenth century the castle belonged to the family Dybowski, and after the partition of Polish lands in its territory was opened distillery.

To our days the castle is preserved in the form of ruins, however, today you can see the remaining walls, two-story gate and castle-building. In the late twentieth century the castle was carried out excavations. About 500 metres from the castle in 2000-2002 were discovered traces of the original location Neavy – cities that existed in the fifteenth century, which was attacked and destroyed by the Teutonic knights. After that, under the pressure of Casimir IV, Nesheva moved to its present location, 35 km from Torun up the river.
