Chęciny Castle, Royal castle in Chęciny, Poland
Two stone towers guard this medieval fortress, positioned at 360 meters above sea level on a limestone hill in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains.
Built around 1300, the castle served as a treasury for Polish crown jewels and a residence for King Władysław I during the kingdom's reunification period.
The castle hosts medieval tournaments, archery competitions, and historical reenactments throughout the year, connecting visitors with Polish medieval traditions.
Guided tours in multiple languages operate daily from April through October, with access to both towers offering views across the surrounding valleys.
Archaeological excavations in 2013 revealed a previously unknown tower that researchers consider the oldest structure within the castle complex.
