Pilica Castle, Renaissance palace in Pilica, Poland
The palace features four wings surrounding an inner courtyard, protected by six bastions connected by curtain walls and a 20-meter-wide moat.
In 1602, Wojciech Padniewski initiated construction, while Jerzy Zbaraski expanded it in 1620 with a three-nave hall and two rows of columns.
The palace interior contained 40 chambers, including a knights' hall with oak floors, six large mirrors, and portraits of castle owners.
The palace stands within a protected 10-hectare park from the 18th century, featuring old trees, sphinxes, and a fountain decorated with owl sculptures.
The northern section displays impressive curtain walls and bastions, with two gates resulting from a 19th-century relocation of the original entrance.
