Zamek w Gródku nad Dunajcem, Medieval castle ruins on Małpia Island, Gródek nad Dunajcem, Poland.
The stone fortress remains stand on a rocky hill that became an island after the creation of Lake Rożnów on the Dunajec River.
Built in the first half of the 14th century by knight Gedko of Gedczyce, the castle protected the trade route between Kraków and Hungary through Spisz.
Local legends connect the castle to the famous Polish knight Zawisza Czarny, whose heirs owned the property after Archbishop Piotr Kurowski.
Access to Małpia Island is restricted as it functions as a bird sanctuary, but visitors can observe the site from boats on Lake Rożnów.
Archaeological research conducted before World War II and in the 1960s revealed no findings dating beyond the 14th century at this location.
