Waldau Castle, Medieval castle in Nizovye, Russia
The castle features stone walls, round towers, and defensive structures built according to 13th-century Teutonic architectural principles.
Founded in 1264 by the Teutonic Knights, the fortress served as a summer residence for the Grand Master of the Order from 1457.
The Sorokin family leads restoration efforts at the castle, incorporating traditional agricultural practices and organizing educational tours about medieval architecture.
Visitors need a Russian visa to access the castle in the Kaliningrad region, where guided tours present the ongoing restoration work.
Archaeological excavations at the castle revealed animal bones, including remains of a rooster potentially dating to Peter the Great's visit in 1697.
