Behind The Lens
Location
located in the Kaliningrad region in the city of Chernyakhovsk (until 1946 - the city of Insterburg). It was founded in 1336 by order of the master of the Teutonic Order of Dietrich von Altenburg on the River Angerapp, near the mouth of Inster - on the site of the ancient settlement of Unzetrapis, destroyed in 1256 during the military campaign of the order over Nadrovia. In 1945, the castle was stormed and suffered from a fire. After the war, the surviving buildings housed a military unit. Presumably in 1949 the castle citadel was almost completely destroyed by fire (only the outer walls remained). From that moment, the dismantling of forburg buildings on brick began (materials were exported to Lithuania for the restoration of national economy objects). In the early 1950s, the territory of the castle was transferred to the repair and construction department No. 1. In the 90s, a museum and a club for military-historical reconstruction appeared there. Preserved part of the moat, dungeons 3 floors and walls.Time

Practice, practice, practice. Look for unusual angles. Think about your safety if you don't want to take the last shot of your life.=)
