Sorkwity, Evangelical church from 1695
Highlight • Religious Site
The west tower, with its faced brickwork, was built between 1701 and 1721. It supports a tarmac roof with a weather vane from 1777 – commemorating the reconstruction work in 1776/77. At that time, the dilapidated upper section had to be removed by 35 feet. It was then restored as it stands today.
In 1754, the church interior received a barrel vault in the nave and flat planked ceilings on the sides; the semicircular windows were also installed. The church's appearance has remained unchanged since then.
The church's interior was carefully restored in the 1930s. Between 1935 and 1944, it was painted, new roof tiles and gutters were installed, and the doors and arched windows were replaced. In the years after 1945, the church was restored several times, most recently in 2010 and 2012.

Sorkwity Castle
Highlight • Castle
The castle includes an English-style landscape park, whose form dates back to the 19th century. It is characterized by ancient oaks and several other protected tree species.
During the First World War, on August 26, 1914, the first day of the Battle of Tannenberg between the invading Samsonov Army and the German defenders, Russian soldiers spent the night in the castle. The castle caught fire and burned down on the night of August 27-28, 1914, along with all its valuable furnishings. In 1922/1923, it was rebuilt by the last German lord of the manor under the supervision of the Berlin architect Otto Rüger. The building survived the Second World War largely unscathed; only the interior furnishings were lost through looting in 1945.
After 1945, the castle was used as an administrative building and warehouse for the now Polish estate administration. In 1957, it became a convalescent home for the Warsaw Ursus machine factory. Today, the castle and park are once again privately owned; the castle houses the two-star Hotel Pałac Sorkwity. In June 2012, the castle appeared unoccupied, and there was no evidence of a hotel operation.
