The St. Mary’s Sanctuary in Swieta Lipka
Saint Lipka – this is the famous Marian Sanctuary. It is situated on the northern edge of Poland, about 70 kilometers north-east of Olsztyn and 6 kilometers east of Reszel. The beginnings of the Marian Sanctuary date back to the 14th century and we know it only from folk stories passed down orally for several centuries. The most information we can found in documents written down and issued in the 17th century.
Castle in Reszel
From 1243, Reszel formally belonged to the bishops of Warmia, but the Teutonic Knights left it only in 1300. The construction of the castle lasted half a century. It was started by Bishop John I from Miśni in 1350, continued (from 1355) by John II Stryprock , and finished in 1401 by Henry III Sorbom . Especially the last one was known for his love of splendor, gave the construction a great momentum – at the time was built the southern wing with the bishop’s residential apartments and the cloisters. The stronghold was coupled with the city’s fortifications.
During the visit to the castle, the hosts will provide us with baking local delicacies and a great atmosphere!
At the end of the event, we invite all participants to a gala dinner, which will take place in the main castle hall of the RYN castle. During dinner, we provide great fun at the concert of the HORPYNA band.
