Raciążek Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Raciążek, Poland.
The stone fortification stands on a high escarpment above the Vistula River valley, with remaining walls and a square tower visible from afar.
Bishop Maciej from Gołańcz constructed the initial three-story brick residence in 1364, replacing a wooden fortress destroyed by the Teutonic Knights in 1330.
The castle served as a significant residence for Włocławek bishops, hosting negotiations between Polish rulers and the Teutonic Order during the medieval period.
Archaeological research conducted between 1978 and 1985 resulted in the preservation of the castle ruins, making them accessible for exploration.
The castle underwent transformation from a Gothic fortress to a Renaissance residence under Bishop Hieronim Rozdrażewski between 1582 and 1600.
