Gerdauen Castle, Medieval castle in Zheleznodorozhny, Russia.
The stone fortification contains thick defensive walls, multiple towers, and a courtyard within the remaining foundations of the original structure.
The Teutonic Order constructed this defensive stronghold in 1315, establishing a settlement that later developed into the town of Zheleznodorozhny.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of medieval Prussia and stands as a regional cultural heritage monument in modern Russia.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following ulitsa Chernyakhovskogo to number 27 in the center of Zheleznodorozhny.
The fortress served as a Dominican monastery starting in 1428, after the religious order relocated from their previous location in Nordenbork.
