Janowiec Castle, Renaissance castle in Janowiec, Poland
The fortress stands on a steep hillside above the Vistula River, featuring Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements from its initial construction period.
Built between 1508 and 1526 by Mikołaj Firlej, the castle experienced severe damage during the Swedish invasion of 1655, leading to multiple reconstruction phases.
The castle houses the Nadwislańskie Museum, displaying historical exhibits across three ground floor chambers, including an extensive collection of medieval armory.
Visitors can access the castle from Kazimierz Dolny by taking a daily ferry service across the Vistula River between April and November.
The structure incorporates distinctive striped masonry patterns in its walls, making it the only castle of this type in Poland.
