About
Zantyr was a significant site in the 13th century, initially serving as the seat of the first bishopric in Prussia. It was strategically located at the confluence of the Nogat and Vistula rivers in present-day Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. The site featured a castle and an episcopal chapter with a cathedral. Throughout its brief history, Zantyr was a contested territory among regional powers — Swietopelk II, Duke of Pomerania, the Teutonic Order, and the Bishopric of Pomesania. By 1279, the castle and town were relocated to establish Malbork Castle, which became the new commandery center. The exact original site of Zantyr remains undetermined, with no archaeological artifacts found to date, leaving its precise location a mystery akin to a Pomeranian Troy.
