Castle in Pyzdry, Gothic castle ruins in Pyzdry, Poland.
Located on a rectangular plan measuring 49.5 by 60.5 meters, the castle features four buildings arranged around a courtyard with corner towers.
King Casimir the Great established this stronghold in the 14th century to protect northern Poland from Brandenburg and Teutonic Knights invasions.
The castle served as a significant political center where Polish queens Sophia of Halshany, Elizabeth of Austria, and Bona Sforza maintained their residence.
Archaeological studies conducted between 2007 and 2009 revealed this fortress was among the largest castles built in the United Kingdom of Poland.
The fortress walls incorporated regularly spaced buttresses, resembling architectural elements found in the castles of Gniew, Czluchow, and Upper Malbork.
