Kętrzyn Castle, Gothic castle in Kętrzyn, Poland.
Kętrzyn Castle is a fortress built from red brick with stone foundations, featuring multiple defensive towers set within its walls. The structure comprises three connected wings that form the overall layout of the building.
The fortress was built by the Teutonic Knights between 1350 and 1374 as part of their efforts to secure their eastern lands. This stronghold served as a key defensive position in the region during that era.
The castle houses a museum where visitors can see regional artifacts and art collections that tell the story of the area and its people. These displays reflect how the community has lived and changed over time.
The castle museum is open to visitors most days of the week, with longer hours during the warmer months. Checking opening times in advance helps ensure you arrive when the site is accessible.
Each year the castle courtyard becomes a bustling medieval marketplace during a special fair featuring traditional crafts. Visitors can watch artisans demonstrate their skills and browse regional products from the area.
