The majestic Teutonic castle in Ryn, formerly ‘Rhein’, can be seen from far away, long before arriving in the town. It houses the Regional Museum and boasts precious and well known collections that total more than 700 artefacts relating to ethnography, geology, archaeology, art and militaria. A major event of the summer of 2006 was the opening of a four-star luxury hotel in the castle, called Hotel Zamek Ryn. It aims to fulfil even the most refined demands of its guests. An unusual attraction for visitors is an event known as the “Night Festivities”, accurately and imaginatively recreating the feel of the middle ages.

Apart from the castle, which is obviously the main draw, there are other historic monuments for you to see: a 19th century Evangelical chapel, a grain warehouse from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a watermill, thirty tenement houses from the 19th century (you can find them on Swierczewskiego and Kosciuszki streets) as well as a Dutch windmill built in 1873. This latter building can be found on a hill just outside the town, by the main road between Gizycko and Mragowo. At present, the windmill is a private property and regrettably is not open to the public. Standing on the hill, you can enjoy an extensive view of Ryn and Lake Rynskie, lying beneath you.
