Castles and Palaces

This collection highlights the architectural heritage of the Warmian-Masurian region, featuring 14th-century Teutonic Order strongholds, fortified bishops' residences, and Prussian noble estates. The selection spans Brick Gothic castles in Lidzbark Warmiński and Olsztyn to the Baroque ruins of Schlobitten. These sites illustrate the strategic military history of the monastic state and the later transition into grand Neoclassical and Tudor Gothic manor houses and imperial hunting retreats.
