Nowy Sącz Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Nowy Sącz, Poland
The castle remains stand at the meeting point of Dunajec and Kamienica rivers, featuring remnants of corner towers and residential buildings.
King Casimir III the Great ordered the construction of this strategic fortress between 1350 and 1360 to protect the southern border of Poland.
The castle served as residence for prominent rulers including King Louis I of Hungary and Saint Queen Jadwiga of Anjou during the 14th century.
The castle grounds contain interpretive panels explaining the structure's layout and its role in medieval Polish defense systems.
In 1611, architect Maciej Trapola expanded the castle to include forty rooms, transforming it from a military fortress into an administrative center.
