Zamek w Koziegłowach, Gothic castle in Koziegłowy, Poland

The castle occupies a rectangular area of 726 square meters, protected by two earthen ramparts and a moat filled with water.

Archaeological excavations between 1962 and 1969 uncovered numerous artifacts including coins and cannonballs, revealing details about medieval military practices.

The castle ruins await partial reconstruction in December 2024 through funding from the Government Monument Restoration Program.

The fortress walls reached 2.5 meters in thickness, with a gate tower measuring 9 by 9 meters protecting the entrance.
