Barciany Castle
Barciany, Poland, Poland
Barciany Castle in Barciany, Poland, is a well-preserved 14th-century Teutonic Knights' fortress built on the site of a destroyed Prussian hillfort, starting as a wooden structure in 1325 and rebuilt in red brick from 1377 under Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode as a commandery with a rectangular layout, curtain walls, a round northeastern tower, and wings including a chapel hall. It served administrative and military roles through wars like the Thirteen Years' War, when burned and recaptured, later becoming a district captain's seat by the 16th century with granary additions, before postwar use as a state farm and current private ownership amid surrounding marshes.
