Ostróda Castle, Medieval Teutonic castle in Ostróda, Poland
The castle stands on a natural defensive island near Lake Drwęckie, featuring four wings around a central courtyard with a three-story structure and deep cellars.
Construction began in 1349 under Commander Günter von Hohenstein, serving as a fortress until 1525 when it transformed into an administrative center for the region.
The castle houses the Municipal Museum with exhibits about regional history, including artifacts from the periods of Teutonic rule and Napoleonic occupation in 1807.
The museum section occupies two halls in the southern wing, while the rest of the building contains a public library and other municipal cultural institutions.
The fortress possessed six cannons in its early days, making it one of the first Teutonic castles equipped with artillery weapons in the 14th century.
