Rawa Mazowiecka Castle, Medieval Gothic castle in Rawa Mazowiecka, Poland

The castle stands at the confluence of Rawka and Rylka rivers, featuring an octagonal tower and remnants of curtain walls on stone foundations.

Duke Siemowit III commissioned the castle construction during the late 14th century to strengthen defenses of the southwestern Mazovian border region.

The castle served as a state treasury for collecting military taxes during the reign of King Sigismund Augustus in the 16th century.

Visitors can explore the reconstructed octagonal tower, which now functions as an archaeological and historical exhibition space.

The castle dungeons held notable prisoners including Archbishop of Riga Christopher of Mecklenburg and Swedish general Carl Carlsson Gyllenhielm.
