Bezławki Castle, Gothic castle in Bezławki, Poland.

The rectangular stone fortress spans 42 by 52 meters with a main residential building measuring 25 by 12 meters along the northern wall.

Built by Teutonic Knights around 1377, the castle served as a strategic outpost during military campaigns against Lithuania in the early 15th century.

After 1583, the castle transformed into a Protestant church, reflecting the religious changes in the region during the Reformation period.

The building contains five levels, including two residential floors and one defensive level, with a bell tower added between 1726 and 1730.

Local legends say the castle once held the Holy Grail, brought by Godwin, son of English King Harold II, who fled after the Battle of Hastings.
