Bydlin Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Eagle's Nests Trail, Bydlin, Poland.
The limestone remains of Bydlin Castle include a rectangular tower house with walls reaching 2.3 meters in thickness and remnants of defensive structures.
Built in the late 14th century by nobleman Niemierza of the Strzała family, the castle served as a defensive residence until its destruction by Swedish forces in 1655.
The fortress transformed from a knight's residence to a religious site when owner Mikołaj Firlej converted it into the Church of the Holy Cross in the late 16th century.
Located at coordinates 50°23′19″N 19°38′34″E, the castle ruins are accessible through both hiking and cycling routes of the Eagle's Nests Trail system.
The castle grounds contain World War I trenches from November 1914 battles, where 1,400 soldiers of the Polish Legions and Austro-Hungarian forces fought.
