Lubiszewo, a few km west of Tczew, is a castle (gród) of the southern prince; modern lists style Grzymisław prince of Lubiszewo and Tczew.
From the 1220s it is the seat of Mestwin's son Sambor II, who later moves to Tczew for better control of the Vistula traffic. In 1200 it is a castle with a village, not a town.
