Zamek w Piszu, Medieval castle ruins in Pisz, Poland
Zamek w Piszu was a rectangular Gothic castle built on the western bank of the Pisa River. The structure featured defensive walls surrounding a central courtyard that formed the heart of the fortress.
The Teutonic Knights built a wooden fortress here in the 14th century, which was later destroyed by Lithuanian forces. A stone castle was then rebuilt on the same site, dominating the region for generations.
The castle served as an administrative center for the Teutonic Order, helping to manage the territories around it. Today, visitors can sense how important this place was for controlling the region during medieval times.
The ruins are located near the Pisa River and are fairly easy to find in the town. Sturdy shoes are recommended since the ground can be uneven where the old foundations are exposed.
The fortress was sold to a private owner in 1787, marking the start of its decline from a military stronghold. During the 1800s it was gradually taken apart, leaving only the foundations that visitors can see today.
