Bishop castle in Prabuty, Medieval castle ruins in Prabuty, Poland

The stone remains of Bishop Castle stand between two lakes, featuring Gothic architectural elements with preserved cellars and foundation structures.

Construction of the castle began between 1276 and 1277 under Bishop Albert's direction, serving as a residence for Pomesanian bishops until 1525.

The castle functioned as an intellectual center in the early 16th century, attracting notable poets like Erasmus Stella and Eobanus Hessus.

Visitors can examine the Gothic vaults in the castle cellars and view a detailed model depicting the medieval structure within its town setting.

The castle's original quadrangular design incorporated multiple wings and towers, with the main house positioned near the lake-facing slope.
