Rößel Castle (Polish Zamek w Reszlu) is a former Teutonic Order castle in Warmia in the town of Reszel, which was called Rößel until 1945.
In 1241, the order built a wood and earth castle about four kilometers north of the Prussian settlement of Resel. As a watchtower, it secured the trade route from the Vistula Lagoon through the wilderness to Poland. Destroyed and rebuilt by Pruzzo, the order handed over the wooden and earthwork to the Prince-Bishopric of Warmia in 1254, and it was now on the north-eastern corner.
