Bardo Castle, Medieval castle ruins at Bardzka Mountain, Poland.

The castle remains consist of an oval-shaped structure with defensive walls measuring 30 by 50 meters on a mountain slope at 420 meters elevation.

Construction of the stone fortress began in the late 13th century under Duke Bolko I, who sold it to a knight from Dzbanow in 1301.

Archaeological excavations between 1982 and 1991 revealed numerous artifacts including Prague silver coins, metal objects, and bone crafts from medieval times.

Access to the castle requires following green and blue hiking trails from the parking area, turning left 100 meters past the seventh station.

The castle walls partially collapsed during an earthquake in August 1598, with sections sliding down the steep mountain slopes into the river below.
