Prochowice Castle, Medieval castle in Prochowice, Poland
The castle features a 32-meter Gothic tower with six levels, including a prison dungeon and thick defensive walls exceeding 2 meters in width.
The fortress served as residence for Duchess Agnieszka Habsburg of Świdnica in 1376, marking its significance within medieval Silesian nobility networks.
The Renaissance courtyard displays architectural elements from different periods, combining Gothic defensive features with 16th-century residential palace modifications.
Visitors access the castle by crossing a bridge over the Kaczawa River, passing through renovated farm buildings that now contain private apartments.
The tower contains a narrow staircase designed to fit only one armed warrior, serving as the final refuge point during potential sieges.
