Zamek w Piszu, Medieval castle ruins in Pisz, Poland

The rectangular Gothic castle stood on the western bank of the Pisa River, featuring defensive walls and a central courtyard within its structure.

The Teutonic Knights constructed the initial wooden fortress in the 14th century, which was later rebuilt in stone after Lithuanian forces destroyed it.

The castle served as a significant administrative center for the Teutonic Order, managing the surrounding territories and maintaining military control in the region.

The archaeological investigations conducted in 2004 revealed the foundation layout and structural details of the medieval castle construction methods.

The castle transformed from a military fortress to private ownership in 1787, leading to its gradual dismantling throughout the 19th century.
