Georgenburg Castle, Medieval castle in Mayovka, Russia

The stone fortress rises above the Instruch River, featuring defensive walls and architectural elements characteristic of northern European fortifications from the Middle Ages.

Constructed in 1264 by the Teutonic Order, the castle served as a strategic fortification point during the medieval period of territorial expansion in Eastern Europe.

The castle maintains its status as a regional cultural heritage site, representing the architectural traditions and military engineering of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic region.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 3-kilometer journey north from the center of Chernyakhovsk, following the path along the Instruch River.

The castle grounds connect to the Georgenburg Stud Farm, established in 1812 by a Scottish family, which continues breeding Tranken horses and hosts international equestrian events.
