Ordensburg Krössinsee

Construction of Ordensburg Krössinsee began on 22 April 1934 and was officially inaugurated on 24 April 1936. Ordensburg Krössinsee was a National Socialist training base and one of three NS Ordensburgs. A small part of the base was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1944. Today the complex is a Polish military base. Two large brick towers from the NS period are still standing.

The complex was visited by Nazi leaders such as Adolf Hitler. Edward, the Duke of Windsor also visited on 13 October 1937.
