Koło Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Koło County, Poland.
The castle stands on an artificial hill at a bend in the Warta River, with remaining walls and tower foundations visible to visitors.
King Casimir the Great commissioned the construction of this defensive stronghold before 1362 to protect the route from Greater Poland to Łęczyca.
The castle hosted significant political meetings of Polish nobility from Greater Poland and served as a residence for Princess Anna of Sochaczew.
The site remains open for public visits, with recent plans announced to develop recreational facilities and dining options around the castle grounds.
The castle's construction used such strong mortar that attempts by Bernardinian monks to dismantle it in the 18th century were only partially successful.
