Szymbark Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Szymbark, Poland.
The stone castle stands on the northern shore of Lake Szymbarskie, with its remaining walls rising above the surrounding forest landscape.
Construction of the castle began in 1301 under the Teutonic Order, serving as a summer residence for the Bishop of Pomesania until 1945.
The castle represents one of Poland's largest Gothic fortifications, displaying medieval architectural elements through its remaining structure and defensive features.
The castle grounds host cultural events, including the Castle Nights concert series, with transportation provided from Iława railway station.
The castle structure contains a Latin inscription from 1386 above its main gate, crediting Brother Henry of Skarlin as its constructor.
