Kętrzyn, Medieval castle town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
The town extends along the Guber River at an elevation of 105 meters, featuring a 14th-century fortress that functions as a museum and municipal library.
Founded in 1329 by the Teutonic Knights, Kętrzyn received town rights in 1357 and later joined the Prussian Confederation against the Order in 1440.
The Wojciech Ketrzynski Museum displays regional artifacts and art collections, documenting the transformation of local communities through different historical periods.
The town serves as a strategic base for visiting the Great Masurian Lakes, the medieval castle of Reszel, and the Baroque sanctuary in Święta Lipka.
Located 8 kilometers from Hitler's former military headquarters, the Wolf's Lair, which contains concrete bunkers spread across 250 hectares of woodland.
