HISTORY
At the end of the fourteenth century, The Knights built
a castle in Ryn, serving as a base for fighting with
the Lithuanians. Until 1525, the castle was the seat
of the commander. After two years of the construction
of the castle, then the Grand Master of the Order Winrich
von Kniprode arrived in Ryn to inspect and take over
the castle, and returned to the Malbork by waterway.
Thus from 1378, Ryn had connection with the Baltic Sea!
On the July 21st., 1723 Ryn received city rights granted
by the Prussian King Frederick William I. And in 1853
the castle was converted into a prison. Since July 2006,
the castle operates an exclusive four-star Hotel - ZAMEK
RYN, satisfying the most demanding guests. The hotel
offers guests nearly 300 beds in 140 rooms, which 5
of these are luxuriously furnished royal suites and
20 rooms are of a higher standard.
There are also other historic buildings in the town:
Dutch windmill, mill and many houses. Ryn is the seat
of local government and the main center of administration
and economic self-governing community. Town consists
of 3100 inhabitants. Municipality of Ryn has a picturesque
landscape of varied glacial lakes. The lake of Ryn is
connected to the Great Masurian Lakes. There are numerous
marinas available for sailors, campsites and resorts.
Tourist hiking and biking trails allow you to reach
to the interesting places in the municipality, including
the Teutonic mounds near the village guard of Orło.
Great location of the city between the lakes of Ryn
leading to the Great Masurian Lakes and the charming
villages on the route of water canal from Węgorzewo
by Giżycko up to the Ruciane Nida, offers great opportunities
for active recreation throughout the whole year.
