Drzewica Castle, Gothic-Renaissance castle in Drzewica, Poland

The rectangular fortress measures 37 by 43 meters and features four corner towers with walls reaching 2.4 meters in thickness.

Archbishop Maciej Drzewicki ordered the construction of this defensive residence between 1527 and 1535 as his family estate.

The architectural design combines Gothic defensive elements with Renaissance decorative features, marking the transition between medieval and modern building styles.

The castle ruins stand within a five-minute walk from Drzewica town center, though internal access remains restricted for safety reasons.

Two moats and an earthen rampart once encircled the structure, while wooden galleries ran along the interior walls at the first and second floors.
