Sorkwity, Village in Masuria region, Poland

The settlement spreads between Gielad and Lampackie lakes, with a Neo-Gothic palace at its center and forest areas surrounding the water bodies.

The Teutonic Order established this settlement in 1379 under Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode, granting the land to brothers Christian and Otto von Oelsen.

The village maintains traditional Masurian customs through seasonal festivals, while the 15th-century church stands as a center of religious heritage.

Visitors can access the Krutynia water trail directly from the village, extending over 100 kilometers through lakes and connecting multiple Masurian locations.

The 19th-century railway viaduct spans across the landscape, representing one of the few remaining engineering structures from the East Prussian period.
