Zamek w Mielniku, Medieval castle ruins in Mielnik, Poland
The castle complex includes remains of a high castle, lower castle, and outer bailey, with stone foundations still visible on the hilltop site.
The fortress gained significance in 1501 when it hosted the signing of the Union of Mielnik between the Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The castle church, built before 1420, originally served Catholic worship under the dedication to Corpus Christi, Assumption of Mary, and Saint Nicholas.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked trails leading up the hill, offering views over the Bug River valley throughout the climb.
During the Russian occupation, authorities covered the upper castle area with six meters of soil to construct a small chapel for propaganda purposes.
