Chrzelice Castle, Medieval castle in Chrzelice, Poland.

The castle features a cylindrical main tower, defensive perimeter walls with an entrance gate, and a three-story residential building within its grounds.

Built in the first half of the 14th century by Opole princes, the castle sustained damage during the Hussite Wars between 1428 and 1434.

The structure evolved from a Gothic defensive fortification to a Baroque palace, reflecting the changing architectural preferences of successive ruling families.

The castle remained inhabited until the 1960s but currently stands as ruins registered in the Opole Voivodeship heritage registry under number 548/59.

During the late 15th century, the castle served as a base for knights who conducted raids, leading to a military expedition by the Piasts of Opole.
