Castle in Pinczów, Renaissance castle ruins in Pińczów, Poland
Stone fortifications and residential structures stood on a hill peninsula overlooking the Nida River valley, featuring two quadrangular towers and a gate tower.
Bishop Zbigniew Oleśnicki purchased the castle between 1424 and 1428, initiating a 30-year construction project that transformed it into a prominent noble residence.
Royal architect Santi Gucci directed the renovation works in the late 16th century, incorporating northern Italian mannerist elements into the architectural design.
The remaining foundation walls of this former castle complex are accessible through marked pathways leading up the limestone hill in central Pińczów.
The castle grounds included a symmetrical garden with four sections, corner pavilions, and a harmonious layout connecting to the adjacent town structure.
