The building that once housed the headquarters of the Masonic Lodge Drei Thore des Tempels (Three Gates of the Temple). In the years 1860-1864, a neo-Gothic building was erected on the site of the former moat, which was to become a new meeting place and activity of the Masonic Lodge. The initiative for the construction was taken by Master Anton Brillowski, who wanted to create not only a headquarters for the Masonic Lodge, but also a true masterpiece of architecture.

The lodge building was designed on a rectangular plan, and its main characteristic are four octagonal turrets that decorate its corners. The pentagonal projection with a staircase also adds a unique charm to the building. The entire structure was inspired by late English Gothic, which gives it a unique character.
The Masonic Lodge in Kętrzyn, called "Drei Thore des Tempels" (Three Gates of the Temple), was established on October 9, 1818 and was part of the Grand National Lodge of the Prussian State. Its members, called the Masonic Brotherhood, met regularly in the lodge building to jointly develop their spiritual and intellectual horizons.
The lodge was disbanded in the 1930s due to a decision by the authorities of the Third Reich. Its assets were taken over by the city of Kętrzyn, and the lodge building was used for various purposes over the following decades.


After the dissolution of the Masonic Lodge, the building in Kętrzyn served various functions. In the post-war period, it housed the Cultural Center and the "Bajka" cinema, which were important cultural centers for the city's residents. However, with the passage of time, the building required renovation and some transformation.
In 1999, thanks to the efforts of local communities and financial support, the former building of the Masonic Lodge was thoroughly restored. Currently, it serves as the headquarters of the Arno Holz Association for Polish-German Understanding, which brings together pre-war residents of Kętrzyn of Polish-German origin. In addition, the building also houses a branch of the Municipal Public Library and a charming café where you can relax and enjoy coffee specialties.


The building of the former Masonic Lodge in Kętrzyn is not only an important element of the local architectural landscape, but also a testament to the history and culture of this region. Although the Masonic Lodge ceased to exist, its legacy remains alive in the memory of the residents of Kętrzyn, and the building itself is a tourist attraction.

Military Museum 303

Highlight • Historical Site

A bunch of mostly WW II planes and armored vehicles, with some that can be seen for free from the outside, or visited up close for a fee.

Historic train and truck storage

Highlight • Monument

Probably an extension or storage area of the military muzeum 303 one kilometer to the east, rather than a separate attempt at capturing the lukrative tourists along their way to the Wolfs Lair Nazi bunkers in the neighboring Gierloz forest.

The relatively large, modern central square in the middle of the village has some new picnic tables with rain shelter, lots of bike parking, and a large ice-age boulder with a big bicycle carving. Clearly, this village appreciates and welcomes visitors on bikes.
