Gołańcz Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Gołańcz, Poland.
The castle consists of a five-story residential tower, defensive walls, and a cylindrical corner tower on a peninsula by Lake Smolary.
Bishop Maciej of Włocławek initiated the construction of the stone residential tower in the second half of the 14th century for the Pałuka noble family.
The fortress represents the architectural transition from single-tower residences to more complex defensive structures of the Polish nobility during medieval times.
Visitors can walk along a paved path near the southern walls of the castle, with a parking area available next to the historical structure.
Archaeological excavations revealed a mass grave from 1656 containing remains of the castle garrison after a Swedish attack during the Deluge period.
