Karnity Castle stands beside Lake Kocioł near Miłomłyn, in Warmia-Masuria, a large red-brick building in the Romantic neo-Gothic style. An octagonal corner tower and a rectangular tower facing the lake give the castle its distinctive silhouette. It was built in the mid-1850s — sources give either 1855 or 1856 — and one hotel listing credits the von Albedyhll family as its builders, though this attribution is not independently confirmed beyond that source.
The castle's lakeside setting is as much a part of the experience as the building itself: a private beach area sits on Lake Kocioł, with water-sports equipment available to rent, and guests can relax on a terrace or make use of a sauna after a day outdoors.
Today Karnity operates as a hotel, with the former riding school on the grounds converted into additional guest accommodation. It is worth noting that this is a 19th-century Romantic-era castle rather than a medieval fortress.
