Gosławice Castle, Gothic castle in Gosławice, Poland.
Gosławice Castle is a Gothic fortress in Gosławice consisting of two parallel three-story buildings with a south wing enclosed by defensive walls. An inner courtyard sits at the center of the original layout, with whitewashed structures making up the main buildings.
Bishop Andrzej Łaskarz initiated construction around 1418, establishing the castle as an important stronghold in the region. After his death in 1426, the initial period of the fortress came to an end, though it remained significant locally.
The castle now houses the District Museum of Konin, displaying regional artifacts and everyday objects from different periods. The collections show how people in this area lived and worked over time.
Visitors can explore the renovated castle grounds featuring preserved defensive walls, whitewashed buildings, and a functional inner courtyard. The site is accessible on foot and inviting for a leisurely walk through its spaces.
The castle preserves a medieval latrine system accessed by a drawbridge supported by four pillars spanning the surrounding moat. This unusual feature shows how castle residents dealt with everyday practical needs.
