Pisz, Administrative center in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
The city stands at the intersection of Lake Ros and the Pisa River, surrounded by the extensive Piska Forest and numerous waterways.
The Teutonic Knights constructed a wooden castle in 1345, which became a foundation point for the settlement that received official rights in 1367.
The Pisz Land Museum in the Neo-Gothic Town Hall displays regional literature, natural exhibits, and documents chronicling local development through centuries.
The town functions as a base for water activities on Lake Ros and Lake Sniardwy, with multiple rental facilities for boats and water equipment.
The name Pisz derives from the ancient Prussian word for swamp, reflecting the original marshy terrain near Lake Ros where the settlement began.
