Rybnica Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rybnica, Poland

The rectangular stone fortress stands on a granite promontory, featuring a three-story structure measuring 24 by 13 meters with a corner turret.

The castle, first documented in 1288, belonged to the Reibnitz noble family before being granted to Conrad von Czirn by Duke Henry of Jawor in 1345.

The fortress contained ceremonial halls on the first floor, residential chambers on the top level, and a kitchen located in the base of the corner turret.

The castle ruins stand 8 kilometers west of Jelenia Gora, accessible via National Road 30, with a railway station in the nearby village.

The north wall remains the most preserved section of the castle, maintaining its original window openings and structural elements from the 16th century.
