Castle in Ryn

Location and surroundings

History

The Gothic castle was built for the Teutonic Order around 1377, during the tenure of Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode, on the site of an earlier, smaller guardhouse. It served as the seat of a commandry and as a base for expeditions towards Lithuania. After 1990 the building was converted into a hotel.
