Chobienia Castle, Renaissance castle in Chobienia, Poland.

The castle has four wings surrounding an inner courtyard, with three circular corner towers and a rectangular gate tower in the west wing.

First mentioned as a fortress in 1209, the current Renaissance structure was built in 1583 by George von Kottwitz on the site of a Gothic castle.

The castle interior contains a painted ceiling from 1583 displaying family coats of arms, along with Renaissance and Baroque stone window frames and portals.

The castle stands in the center of Chobienia near the former market square on Parkowa Street, with limited public transportation access.

In 1759, King Frederick II of Prussia visited wounded soldiers at the castle after the Battle of Kunowice and delivered a motivational speech.
