Swobnica Castle, Medieval fortress in Swobnica, Poland

The castle stands on a peninsula with three sides surrounded by lake water and features a 31-meter tower with brick walls reaching 18 meters.

The Knights Hospitallers constructed the castle after 1377 with permission from Szczecin dukes Świętobor I and Bogusław VII to defend regional borders.

The structure transitioned from a military stronghold to a baroque hunting mansion in 1730, reflecting changes in nobility's architectural preferences over centuries.

Recent restoration efforts led by Castle Association Swobnica since 2011 focus on preserving the main tower and east wing for visitors.

The castle maintained substantial weapons storage in the mid-16th century, including cannons, armor, halberds, and thousands of cannonballs.
