Prudnik Castle, Gothic castle remnants at Zamkowy Square, Prudnik, Poland.
The castle stands between the Prudnik and Zloty Potok valleys, featuring a cylindrical tower constructed from greywacke stone with walls exceeding 23 meters in height.
Czech knight Wok of Rosenberg established the castle in 1255 as a strategic point controlling trade routes between Wrocław and Opava in Upper Silesia.
The remaining Wok Tower, recognized as the oldest castle tower in Upper Silesia, represents the medieval architectural heritage of the Opole region.
The castle tower opens to visitors through the Museum of Prudnik Land, which maintains regular viewing hours during specific months of the year.
The castle survived multiple conflicts until 1806 when a fire destroyed most structures, leaving only the cylindrical tower standing as a solitary witness.
