Ryn lies between Lake Ryńskie and Lake Ołów, on a narrow strip of land amid the interconnected waters and woodland of Poland’s Masurian Lake District. The compact town rises toward Ryn Castle, a brick stronghold built by the Teutonic Order in the 14th century. For centuries it served as the seat of a Teutonic commandery, giving this small lakeside settlement an important place in the history of former Prussia. The castle now operates as a hotel, while local marinas and boats underline Ryn’s enduring connection with the sailing culture of Masuria.
