Zamek w Bełżycach, Medieval castle ruins in Bełżyce, Poland

The castle consists of remaining lower walls with barrel vaults, constructed from stone and brick, originally featuring two stories and defensive towers.

Built around 1416 by Spytek of Tarnów, the castle hosted a crucial nobility assembly in 1446 that led to Casimir IV Jagiellon's election.

During the 16th century, the castle transformed into an educational center with an Arian school and protestant gathering place for religious discussions.

The castle structure now houses a dairy production facility, with the remaining medieval walls incorporated into the current industrial building complex.

The castle featured an Italian-style garden with ponds and a wooden bathhouse, supplied by a wooden water system from nearby lakes.
