Ryn is a charming Masurian town, located on the isthmus of two lakes, O\u0142\u00f3w and Ry\u0144skie. Above the city there is a 14th-century Teutonic castle founded by grand master Winrych von Kniprode, (whos made the famous boat trip from Ryn to Malbork – in 1379). The castle was one of the most important in the chain of fortifications in the east part of the Teutonic State.
