Königsberg Castle, originally built in the 13th century, was the seat of the Teutonic Knights and later the Prussian monarchy. Heavily damaged in World War II, the castle was demolished in the Soviet era. In recent years, parts of the castle have been reconstructed, including the main building and the tower. Today, the site houses a museum showcasing the history of the castle and the region, with exhibits on the Teutonic Order, Prussian kings, and the city's past. Visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views of Kaliningrad.
