One of the most interesting Teutonic castles can be seen in the city on the edge of the Great Lakes Land. This city is Kętrzyn, which visitors to Warmia and Mazury should definitely look into. Kętrzyn is a place of great touristic importance, in which the biggest attraction is the restored Teutonic castle. An interesting museum was set up in this huge stronghold, whose construction began in the mid-fourteenth century. One of the most interesting groups of exhibits that can be seen here are items related to the activities of the freemasons in the vicinity of Kętrzyn. In the city itself, you can see a building from the 19th century that served the local lodge. Freemasonry is not the only topic presented in the museum. You can also admire documents related to the history of the city and see an interesting collection of works of art from the 15th - 19th century. Another interesting object is the Gothic church of St. George, near which are fragments of the old defensive walls. The church itself (still built by the Teutonic Knights) also has very clearly visible defensive features.
