Zamki w typie kasztelu jako siedziby dostojników kościelnych w Prusach
Castellum-type Castles as Residences of Church Dignitaries in Prussia

Summary/Abstract: Castellum-type castles of the Church hierarchy (bishops and chapters) in Prussia are discussed. As an adaptation of the conventual castle model, for long they remained of lesser interest to scholars. The analysis of the facilities in the light of a new research, in view of their construction technology, spatial layout, and form, reveals many similarities as well as differences versus Teutonic castles. Additionally, a creative transformation of the model to serve the users’own functional and propaganda purposes can be observed.
