History
Main wing of the Nowe Castle, which currently houses the Culture Centre
In 1440 the town joined the Prussian Confederation, which opposed Teutonic rule,[5] and upon the request of which King Casimir IV Jagiellon re-incorporated the territory to the Kingdom of Poland in 1454. During the subsequent Thirteen Years' War it was captured by the Teutonic Knights in 1458, besieged by Poles in August 1464, and the Teutonic Knights capitulated in February 1465,[6] losing their last stronghold on the west bank of the Vistula. It was reintegrated with Poland, the castle became the seat of the local starosts[6] and the next year the Teutonic Knights renounced any claims to the town. In 1626 and 1655 Nowe was besieged by Sweden.[7]
Arrest warrant for the Polish intelligentsia from Nowe, issued by the Bezirksführer (district commander) of the German Selbstschutz, G. Kerber, on 21 October 1939
After the German Invasion of Poland it was annexed into the Third Reich, from 1939 to 1945 as part of Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia. During the German occupation, Poles were subjected to mass arrests and executions as part of the Intelligenzaktion Pommern.[10] The Germans established a prison in the local courthouse, in which around 200 Poles were imprisoned and tortured in September and October 1939, before being murdered in large massacres in the nearby village of Grupa.[10] Towards the end of World War II, Nowe was captured by the Red Army and after the end of the war, it was restored to Poland.
