Castle in Jeziorany, Medieval fortress in Jeziorany, Poland.

The castle structure features two perpendicular wings with a cylindrical tower positioned in the southeast corner upon a square stone pedestal.

Construction of the brick bishop's castle started in the mid-fourteenth century under bishop John of Meisnia and faced multiple destructions during conflicts.

The chapel within the western wing contained stellar vaults decorated with polychromes, reflecting the religious and artistic elements of medieval architecture.

The Municipal Office now occupies the modified western wing of the castle, which stands alongside remnants of the southern range.

The castle incorporated a specialized toilet tower called a dansker, accessible through a porch built on brick arches.
