Castle
The 14th-century brick castle, built at the same time as that in Lidzbark, has retained much of its original form, except for the southern side, which was turned into a Protestant church in the 19th century, with a belfry and a jarring concrete gable added to the top. Today the complex is open to the public and houses a hotel, a restaurant, some function rooms and an art gallery. Go to the top of the castle’s massive cylindrical tower for some views over the red-tiled roofs of the Old Town.

Parish Church
The 14th-century parish church is a large Gothic brick construction with a tall square tower. It was refurnished and redecorated in the 1820s after fires that devastated much of the centre, and has a harmonious though not outstanding interior. If you’d like a birds-eye view of the town with the castle as a backdrop, ascend the church’s tower.

Fishing Bridge
At the entrance to the Old Town, when arriving from Kętrzyn, is the unusually massive brick Fishing Bridge, also known as the Gothic Bridge (Most Gotycki), built in the 14th century and recently so extensively restored that it looks like new. Don't be fooled by the name - you'd need a long line and a lot more river before you could actually catch anything!
