Location and history

Tczew is located in the eastern part of the Pomeranian County, southeast of Gdańsk – on the western bank of the Wisła River.
The name of the place was first mentioned in the sources in 1198. A castle was built on the site and Tczew was granted market town rights in 1260, issued by Prince Sambor II. After the partition of Poland in 1772, Tczew came under Prussia. After World War I, the city returned to Poland.
