Lonely Planet review for Ruins of the Castle

History buffs should take the opportunity to check out the remnants of the town's original medieval fortifications. To the east, in a triangle squeezed between the Old and New Towns, are the Ruins of the Castle, built by the Teutonic Knights. It was destroyed by the town's inhabitants in 1454 as a protest against the order's economic restrictions (they must have been really ticked off - those Teutonic castles were solidly built).

    I visited ruins of Teutonic Knights' Castle a week ago. In those days was not so much to see there, as a building lot.
