Then, after the fall of this order, it became the seat of the castellany of Kruszwica. It was destroyed blown up by the Swedes in 1657; previously, it was occupied by them for two years. The tower has survived since 1895 and is a tourist attraction of Kruszwica and a vantage point. From its top, with good visibility, you can see Inowrocław, Strzelno, Radziejów.
