This map, I scanned from a map I bought, shows all the important points as they relate to this album and it shows both the German and the Polish name. photo 101103Lagow2.jpg

The Johanniter Order Fortress lies between two lakes and this bridge goes over the canal connecting the two lakes. photo 101103Lagow17.jpg

The two lake connecting canal enters or starts at the south lake here. photo 101103Lagow19.jpg

After crossing the canal, we are looking back at the south lake. photo 101103Lagow20.jpg

Looking a little further to the right, along the town wall and we see this Caf&eacute;. But remember it is November and it is cold, so it doesn&#8217;t look open. photo 101103Lagow21.jpg

We are approaching the east gate of the town wall.In this part of Europe all vehicles are required to have their  lights on DAY and night. photo 101103Lagow22.jpg

Walking further into Lagow and we can see the church. photo 101103Lagow26.jpg

Walking to the first corner in Lagao and we see this, impressive. This was the seat of government for many centuries and the taxes in kind from my early ancestors went here. photo 101103Lagow28.jpg

Looking left from that corner we see houses at left and the fortress wall at right. photo 101103Lagow29.jpg
