Preußisch Eylau Castle
Preußisch Eylau Castle, Medieval castle in Bagrationovsk, Russia.
The stone fortress occupies a strategic position near water bodies, featuring defensive walls and architectural elements characteristic of Teutonic military construction methods.
The castle originated in 1325 under Grand Master Werner von Orseln, with construction supervised by Dietrich von Altenburg, commander of the Balga region.
The fortress represents medieval German military architecture in Eastern Europe, demonstrating the influence of Teutonic Knights in the Kaliningrad region.
The structure requires substantial restoration work, particularly addressing the deteriorated roofing sections and internal spaces affected by lack of maintenance.
The castle served as an administrative center during the Thirteen Years' War, surviving multiple sieges including attacks from Polish mercenaries in 1520.
