Rożnów Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rożnów, Poland
The stone fortress stands on a steep hill above the Dunajec River, with remaining fragments of defensive walls and interior structures reaching window height.
Between 1350 and 1370, the Rożen family constructed this Gothic castle, which later became the residence of the famous Polish knight Zawisza Czarny in 1426.
The castle remains contain architectural elements from the Gothic period and served as a strategic point on the medieval trade route between Poland and Hungary.
The castle site offers visitors direct access from the road between Gródek and Rożnów, with the Rożnów Lake recreational area nearby.
Archaeological excavations in 2016 revealed artifacts related to Zawisza Czarny, leading to plans for establishing a memorial chamber dedicated to this medieval knight.
