Miedzygorz Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland.
Miedzygorz Castle is a medieval fortification in the Świętokrzyskie region, built on a small hill with a rectangular foundation made of local sandstone and brick. The structure rises across multiple levels, and the remaining walls and foundations clearly show the original construction method.
King Casimir III granted the castle to Jan Zaklika in 1370, marking the start of private ownership. Later, during the late 16th century, it underwent Renaissance-style modifications that shifted its purpose from a military stronghold to a residential castle.
The castle passed through the hands of several noble families who shaped it according to their needs and tastes over time. Walking through the ruins today, visitors notice how different parts of the structure reveal the lifestyle choices of its various inhabitants.
The site is located between the towns of Opatów and Sandomierz and features parking facilities and an information board. A covered shelter provides protection from the weather, making a visit comfortable regardless of the season.
The southeast entrance originally featured a drawbridge crossing a moat, showing a defense system that protected the castle for centuries. Traces of this elaborate access point remain visible in the foundation remains.
