Brandenburg Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Ushakovo, Russia.

The stone fortress features four wings surrounding a central courtyard, with remaining walls displaying characteristic medieval architectural elements.

The Teutonic Knights constructed Brandenburg Castle in 1266, following Otto III of Brandenburg's support during the Prussian Crusade.

The castle chapel stored religious artifacts, including a fragment of the True Cross and a relic of Saint Catherine presented by Emperor Charles IV.

The entrance fee to visit the ruins of Brandenburg Castle costs 100 rubles per person, with temporary closures during renovation periods.

A limestone well in the northeast wing of the castle remained functional until 1838, providing water for the entire fortress complex.

Location: Ushakovo, Kaliningrad Oblast

Architectural style: Gothic architecture
