Golub Castle, in the town of Golub-Dobrzyń in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, began as a brick fortress of the Teutonic Order, with its origins placed around 1300 to 1311. The castle returned to Polish control after the Second Peace of Toruń in 1466, and from then on it was administered by a royal starosta on the Crown's behalf.
One of those starostas gave the castle its present character: Anna Vasa, sister of King Sigismund III, held the post from 1611 to 1625 and is credited with a Renaissance rebuilding that added turrets, decorative attics and larger windows to the originally austere Teutonic fortress.
The castle now operates partly as a hotel and partly as a museum, open to day visitors. Rooms are set within the castle's thick walls, soundproofed by the historic masonry, and furnished in an antique style, with views over the river or the inner courtyard.
