Castle in Jelcz-Laskowice, Medieval castle ruins in Jelcz-Laskowice, Poland.

The rectangular brick structure measures 11.6 by 28 meters, featuring Gothic elements and buttresses positioned at calculated angles along its walls.

Built in the third quarter of the 13th century, the castle gained notoriety in 1277 when Prince Probus was held captive within its walls.

The castle demonstrates the architectural transition from Gothic to Renaissance styles, reflecting the changing preferences of successive noble families in Silesia.

Located on the southern edge of Jelcz-Laskowice near the Oder River, the ruins remain accessible without entry fees throughout the year.

The original defensive system incorporated the Oder River waters as a natural moat, complemented by an earth rampart reinforced with timber structures.
