Dobczyce Castle, Medieval castle in Dobczyce, Poland.
The castle stands on a rocky hill above Lake Dobczyce, featuring defensive walls up to 9 meters thick and two separate courtyards.
Built in the 12th century during Poland's feudal fragmentation period, the castle served as a strategic fortification to protect the city of Krakow.
In the 15th century, the castle functioned as an academy where royal princes studied under the guidance of historian Jan Dlugosz.
The Regional Museum PTTK offers guided tours of the castle ruins and exhibits showcasing local artifacts from different historical periods.
The castle contains a mysterious well known as the 'death well', located near the oldest part of the structure, the square tower.
