Węgorzewo Castle, Gothic castle in Węgorzewo, Poland.
The fortress displays medieval Gothic architecture with stone walls, defensive structures, and a central courtyard positioned near the Angrapa River.
The Teutonic Knights constructed the castle in the late 14th century as a defensive stronghold, replacing an earlier wooden structure from 1335.
The castle holds exhibitions about regional history and serves as a center for educational programs about medieval architecture and military engineering.
Visitors can reach the castle by following directional signs from the town center of Węgorzewo, with parking available near the entrance.
The castle's name derives from the Old Prussian word for eel, referencing the abundance of these fish in nearby waters during medieval times.
