Castle in Szczytno, Medieval fortress in Szczytno, Poland.
The stone walls of this medieval castle stand at the heart of Szczytno, featuring characteristic architectural elements from the Teutonic Knights period.
Built in 1370 after Lithuanian forces destroyed the original wooden structure, the castle served as a strategic outpost for the Teutonic Order.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of medieval Prussia and contains exhibits showcasing regional artifacts from archaeological excavations.
Visitors can access the castle grounds without an entrance fee, and the building currently houses municipal offices and exhibition spaces.
The fortress changed from a military stronghold to a hunting lodge during the rule of Margrave George Frederick in the late 16th century.
