It served the city's residents from 1911, abolished in 1997. The layout of the alleys, old trees, a memorial stone, and remnants of the gate remain. A connecting path between Hallera Street and the bike path encircling the center runs through the area of the former cemetery.

The castle in Kwidzyn is an impressive Gothic stronghold from the 14th century, the former seat of the Pomesanian chapter. Its massive walls and characteristic sanitary-defense tower, connected to the castle by the longest covered porch in the world, are a symbol of medieval defensive architecture in these areas. The castle was not only a religious and administrative center, but also played an important role in the Polish-Teutonic conflicts and in the Priests' War. Rebuilt and adapted many times over the centuries, today it houses a museum and is one of the most important historical attractions in the region.

The Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Kwidzyn is a Gothic temple from the 14th century, which is part of the former castle of the Pomesanian Chapter. It is distinguished by its monumental defensive architecture and a characteristic 60-meter tower. The crypt houses the mausoleum of the Pomeranian princes and the Teutonic Grand Masters. The cathedral is one of the most important monuments on the Gothic Castle Trail.

It is best to arrive a little earlier, as last admission is at 4:00 p.m. and you will not be able to enter the cathedral or castle after that.

The Kwidzyn pond called Balaton 😀. The place is quite nice and well-kept with a beautiful view of the castle.
