Bąkowiec Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Morsko, Poland.

The limestone fortress stands on a hill plateau with remaining defensive walls and fragments of the original medieval structure at its upper section.

First documented in 1389 with mention of a castle chaplain, Bąkowiec served as part of the Eagles' Nests defense system along the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.

The castle represents the medieval military architecture of the Polish borderlands, constructed to protect important trade routes through the region.

Visitors can observe the castle ruins from outside through a network of forest paths, with parking facilities and a café located near the site.

In 1927, architect Witold Danielewicz Czeczott integrated the medieval castle walls into his residential house, creating an unusual architectural combination.
