Castle in Grodziec, Medieval castle on extinct volcano in Grodziec, Poland
Castle in Grodziec is a brick fortress that stands on top of an ancient volcanic peak in southwestern Poland. The structure includes towers, residential chambers, and fortification walls that form the main elements of the site.
The first documented reference to this structure appears in a papal bull from 1155. Over the following centuries, it evolved from a wooden fortress into a brick construction with Renaissance additions.
The castle holds regular medieval events where performers in period costumes demonstrate combat techniques, crafts, and customs from the Middle Ages.
The site is open daily for visitors to explore the towers, chambers, and walls at their own pace. Guided tours are available if you want a more detailed explanation of the structure and its past.
The architect Bodo Ebhardt oversaw major restoration work that was completed in 1908 with a formal ceremony. This renovation shaped much of what visitors see when they walk through the site today.
