Ryn, Medieval castle town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

The town stretches between Lake Ryn and Lake Olow, with a population of 3,000 residents in the Great Mazurian Lakes district.

The Teutonic Knights constructed a fortress in 1377 on a former Prussian fortification site, establishing a strategic defense point against Lithuanian forces.

The Regional Museum within the castle exhibits 700 artifacts covering ethnography, geology, archaeology, art, and military equipment from different periods.

Visitors can access Ryn through the railway network, which connects the town to major transportation routes since its establishment in 1902.

A subterranean channel links the Matussek pond to Lake Ryn, passing through an ancient mill constructed during the Teutonic period.
