A settlement near the legendary Prussian sanctuary of Romowe
On the road from Kaliningrad to Bagrationovsk
A town on the Mayskaya River (Pasmar). Founded in the 14th century as a castle of the Teutonic Order
The town's founding date is considered to be 1290, but little of it has survived
A church that witnessed an epoch-making battle between the Russian and French armies, now disfigured and consigned to oblivion
The pastor of this church, built on a military training ground in the mid-1930s, was called up into the army in 1941
The church is recalled by trees planted in a circle and the base of the tower
From roughly the end of the 14th century the chief ornament of this church was its Gothic east gable
The sacristy of this medieval church held many carved figures of saints dating from the very beginning of the 18th century
After the war this characteristic brick building on a high boulder plinth found itself in the border no-man's-land
Neither the beautiful medieval tower nor the red granite holy-water stoup could save it
An intermediate stronghold between Kreuzburg and Bartenstein, built of stone and brick from the very beginning
