The city defensive walls in Sępopol

In 1319, the Teutonic Knights established a watchtower on the site of a Prussian stronghold in a bend of the Łyna River, around which a settlement developed. After digging a canal at the base of the bend, a river island was created, which significantly strengthened the defensive values of the place. The settlement, known in German as Schiffenburg, obtained a location privilege in 1351.

In the second half of the 14th century, Sępopol was surrounded by city walls, which were reinforced with four towers. They were built of brick on a stone foundation. Two gates led to the city from the north: Królewiecka, and from the south: Młyńska.

The remains of the gate and small fragments of the city walls in the north-eastern part of the city have survived to this day. They surround the church of St. Michael the Archangel. Next to the rectory there is a restored one of the towers.
