The original castle was build at this place by the knight order "Deutscher Orden" who conquered the land south of baltic sea in 13th century. It's purpose was to secure the area against the hostile Lithuanians. In 16th century it was remodeled in the style of renaissance and got it's current appearence. Now it houses an hotel.

Evangelical Augsburg Church in Giżycko

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the few protestant churches of former East Prussia that were not expropriated after Second World War and consecrated into a catholic one. There still exists a protestant evangelical congregation.
The templates for the buidings came from the famous prussian architekt Karl Friedrich Schinkel. But he did not like the result when he visited Giżycko.
