The castle in Reszel was built in the years 1350–1401. It was repeatedly besieged and captured several times by the Polish and Teutonic armies. In the years 1594–1597, the stronghold was transformed into a residence.

Rastenburg Castle was a castle of the Teutonic Order in the then East Prussian town of Rastenburg, now Kętrzyn. Before the time of the Teutonic Order, there was already a refuge and rest castle on the site, which the Order took over. After this castle was destroyed by hostile Lithuanians, it was rebuilt in stone on a rectangular floor plan from 1345 to 1348. In 1410 the castle fell to Poland, but was returned to the Order after a year. During the Thirteen Years' War it again came into Polish possession. In the Duchy of Prussia the castle was handed over to a burgrave for administration and was rebuilt for this purpose from 1528 to 1566. On December 15, 1797 the castle was destroyed by fire. In 1912 the town of Rastenburg bought the empty building and set up apartments. The castle was renovated in the 1930s and used as a tax office and air raid shelter in the 1940s. Heavily damaged in the Second World War, the castle was faithfully rebuilt from 1964 to 1966 (Wikipedia). Today the castle is home to a regional museum.
