Insterburg Castle, Medieval castle in Chernyakhovsk, Russia.
The brick fortress stands on elevated ground at the meeting point of Angrapa and Inster rivers, featuring remaining sections of its northern wing.
The Teutonic Knights constructed this military stronghold in 1337 as part of their eastern frontier defenses, completing the main structure by 1347.
The castle houses a museum displaying artifacts and historical information in Russian and German languages about the medieval period of the region.
The castle remains are located one kilometer north of Chernyakhovsk's train station, with regular guided tours available at the entrance.
The castle grounds contain an artist studio where a local creator maintains exhibitions and organizes cultural gatherings throughout the year.
