Morąg Castle, Gothic castle in Morąg, Poland

The fortified structure occupies a trapezoidal promontory near the former Mrągowskie Lake, featuring defensive walls and an octagonal tower in its eastern corner.

Built by Teutonic Knights around 1280 as a wooden fortress, the castle underwent reconstruction between 1331 and 1384 to become a brick headquarters for the Teutonic Vogt.

The Renaissance-era wooden ceilings in the gate wing display intricate plant motifs and human figures, discovered during restoration work in 2002.

The castle maintains its position at Zamkowa 15 in Morąg, with the remaining gate wing consisting of two stories and featuring a plastered exterior.

Archaeological surveys revealed stone foundations of medieval structures and traces of defensive walls, while renovation efforts in 2005 uncovered the original pointed-arch gateway.
