Here, people realized their dream of a windmill in Masuria. Not just any windmill; it was born of their imagination and inspired by models they had seen years before in Spain and France. In southern countries, similar buildings made of stone in a circular shape have been built for centuries.

The façade was built from pebbles from the surrounding fields. Since it was impossible to place a crane on the hill, they transported each brick, stone, and beam up the hill by hand. Rolling a boulder sometimes took several hours. This explains why the construction of the entire windmill took six years. And back to the bricks... each one, including the one with the dog paw print, came from the demolition of old Masurian houses. Local materials combined with the technological ideas of the French led to the realization of a dream: a modern windmill that looks just like it did 200 years ago.

Sorkwity, Evangelical church from 1695

Highlight • Religious Site

A church in Sorkwity was first mentioned in 1470. It was a thatched, half-timbered church. It was demolished in 1600 and replaced by a fieldstone church: a choirless, plastered building, the eastern part of which was built between 1593 and 1607, and the western part in 1689/99.

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.
