Church of Christ the King in Sątoczno
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1468, the knight Albrecht von Vogt received Sątoczno from the Teutonic Knights as a reward for participating in the war against Poland and Lithuania. After his death, the property was inherited by his daughter, who married the owner of the neighboring estate, Botha von Eulenburg. From his surname, Sątoczno took its former name Leunenburg. In 1526, Valentin Vuge from Elbląg was the parish priest of the local parish belonging to the archipresbytery in Sępopol. At that time, the parish in Sątoczno included the villages of Glitajny, Kałwągi, Wągniki, Błuskajmy, Studzieniec, Słępy and Kaskajmy. Poles probably also lived there, because in 1581 the school teacher received additional remuneration for reading and commenting on the Gospel and the catechism in Polish.
In the middle of the 17th century, a diaconate was established here especially for Polish parishioners. Polish deacons taught in Sątoczno until 1697. The church in Sątoczno was erected in the years 1326–1328 on the site of the hillfort established by the Teutonic Order. It was located at the confluence of the Sajna and Gubra rivers. The oldest part of the building is the tower, its walls have survived intact from the first half of the 14th century. There was room for three bells in the belfry. The oldest bell from 1593 has been lost, the second - the largest bell from 1735 - is ringing now in the commune of Borfelde near Hildesheim in Germany. The remaining bell bears the inscription: God to be honored, Christians to be encouraged.
In 1848, at the behest of Pastor Simon Jakub Gammel, the carpenter Rockel made an apparent wooden stellar vault over the nave. The western part of the nave is closed by a choir with an organ. It was built in 1745 by Adam Gottllob Casparini, the royal organ builder. They were enlarged in 1898. The organ has a rococo ornamentation. The chancel is separated from the nave by a monumental rainbow arch. The altar is made of wood. It was made in 1824 by the sculptor Bierreichel. In the middle of the presbytery there was a baptismal font made of Italian "Carvara" marble. It was purchased in Królewiec in 1828. [10/12/2014]] The bowl of the baptismal font was filled with a large, brass bowl weighing about 20 kilograms. It dates back to 1580. In 1828, the church's floor was covered with Swedish stone slabs. The courtyard of the church was originally a cemetery, in 1819 a park was established that still serves this purpose.

Srokowo Town Hall

The Baroque style town hall was built in 1772-1775. The first mention of the building in this place dates back to 1608. Srokowo itself is a historical town from 1397 (in 1405 - the city rights were granted by the Teutonic Grand Master Konrad V von Jungingen)

Leśniewo Dolne Lock
Highlight • Monument
An unfinished part of the Masurian Canal system, which, in the intention of its creators, was to connect the Great Masurian Lakes with the Baltic Sea during the existence of the Third Reich. The lock in Leśniewo Dolny has never been completed and is currently practically flooded with water. It is not as impressive as the so-called Lock in Leśniewo Górny (with a gate and elements of the symbolism of the Third Reich).
The road leading to this place shows the momentum of earthworks that were undertaken in the past. Along the way, you can see traces of beavers' activity, which slowly but effectively fill the undeveloped channel of the canal with their structures. The Leśniewo Dolne lock is the least advanced in construction. There is a gatehouse next to it.
The lock is chamber, reinforced concrete, dock with a total length of about 66m. The usable length of the lock chamber is 45 m and its width - 7.7 m. Construction began after 1935 and the entire project was never completed - mainly due to the outbreak of World War II. Only a part of the building's body was completed. The construction progress is approximately 20%. The designed closures on the upper head - support gates, on the lower head - a flat steel latch. One savings tank was envisaged. A reinforced concrete road bridge was designed on the lower head.
Now these are only imposing ruins, which, however, illustrate the impetus of construction that inspired the designers of the Masurian Canal.

Wegorapa River
Highlight • River
Unfortunately, the highlight is once again somewhat unintelligible, because that's probably exactly what you can find and see all along the river. We couldn't find anything special that could qualify as a highlight.

Teutonic Castle Węgorzewo
Highlight • Castle
A gigantic, impressive building. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything. No guided tour available, and no information. That may have been our fault, though, as we didn't want to linger there long. It's definitely worth a rest, a break, and a closer look.

Węgorzewo Marina
Highlight • Rest Area
Beautifully situated, small and cozy, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind in peace. After a bike ride, you can watch the boats for a bit. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants.
