Шаакен — орденский замок в Калининградской области. Основан на месте прусской крепости около 1270 года. В 1697 году в гавани, расположенной недалеко от Шаакена, побывала часть «Великого посольства российского» на пути своего следования в Западную Европу. Царь Пётр I останавливался в Шаакене трижды. Шаакен практически не пострадал во время Великой Отечественной войны. В 2011 году замок передан Русской православной церкви. В 2012 на территории произошёл пожар.
