Schaaken Castle, Medieval castle in Nekrassowo, Russia
The brick ruins of Schaaken Castle rise from an octagonal layout, maintaining portions of its original walls and architectural elements from different construction periods.
The Teutonic Knights established the first wooden fortress on this site in 1270, later rebuilding it in stone starting from 1328 on ancient Prussian grounds.
The castle transformed from a Teutonic Knights stronghold to a ducal residence in 1525, marking the transition from religious to secular governance in the region.
Visitors can explore a small museum containing medieval exhibits inside the castle grounds while enjoying activities such as horseback riding near the premises.
Peter the Great selected this castle for three separate stays, and it later served as Alexander Suvorov's headquarters during the Seven Years' War.
