Castle of the Order of St. John in Łagów, Medieval fortress between lakes in Łagów, Poland.
The castle stands on a hill between Trześniowskie and Łagowskie Lakes, featuring a 24-meter tower and four two-story wings around a Renaissance courtyard.
The Order of St. John initiated construction in 1350, building a quadrilateral structure that later expanded with Commander Liborius von Schapelow adding the tower in the early 1500s.
The structure contains the komtur's chamber, executioner's chamber, and knights' hall, displaying a Gothic refectory with cross-rib vaulting supported on original pillars.
Visitors can access the observation tower throughout the year for 5 PLN, while the castle operates as a hotel with restaurant services.
The castle entrance features a 22-meter-high neck with 51 steps, leading to a courtyard adorned with cascading grapevines.
