Międzyrzecz Castle, Medieval fortress in Międzyrzecz, Poland.
The castle stands on elevated ground between the Obra and Paklica rivers, featuring stone walls, two round artillery bastions, and a surrounding moat.
King Casimir III the Great ordered the construction of the castle around 1350, replacing a wooden Slavic settlement that protected Wielkopolska from northwestern threats.
The castle museum displays Poland's largest collection of coffin portraits, with 38 images, 18 inscription plates, and 160 heraldic coats of arms.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds, museum exhibitions, and a 19th-century park with plane trees along the former outer rampart.
The castle's defense system incorporated water from the Obra River to maintain a 12-meter-wide moat that connected with the town fortifications.
