Gvardeysk, Administrative town in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
Gvardeysk stands at an elevation of 10 meters above sea level, positioned along the Pregolya River in the central region of Kaliningrad Oblast.
Founded in 1255, the settlement operated under the State of Teutonic Order until 1525, later becoming part of the Duchy of Prussia until 1701.
The town demonstrates multiple architectural periods through its buildings, reflecting influences from medieval Teutonic, Prussian, and Russian construction methods.
The town functions as the administrative center of Gvardeysky District, connecting to Kaliningrad city through railway lines and major roadways.
The transformation from Tepliava to Gvardeysk marks a significant territorial shift, as the town changed names and administrative systems after 1945.
