Sochaczew Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sochaczew, Poland
The stone castle sits on a hill in central Sochaczew, with remaining walls of the western section displaying Gothic architectural elements from the 14th century.
The castle served as the residence of Mazovian princes until 1476 when King Kazimierz Jagielonczyk incorporated the region into the Kingdom of Poland during a ceremony within its walls.
The fortress functioned as an administrative center where nobles gathered in 1377 to establish the legal codes that would govern the entire Mazovian region.
Visitors can access the castle ruins throughout the year and observe archaeological discoveries including medieval pottery, household items, and foundation remnants of the northern gate.
In 1608, the northern section of the castle collapsed due to a landslide, leading King Zygmunt III Vasa to order its complete reconstruction in Renaissance style.
