Olsztyn Castle, Medieval castle in Olsztyn, Poland.
The stone fortress rises on a limestone hill, featuring a cylindrical tower, a square tower, and remnants of residential buildings along defensive walls.
The first records of the castle, initially known as Przymiłowice Castle, date back to 1306 during the trial of Krakow Bishop Jan Muskata.
The fortress belongs to the Eagle's Nests chain of medieval castles, representing defensive architecture of the Piast dynasty in the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland.
Visitors can access the castle ruins daily, with guided tours available in multiple languages and parking facilities at the base of the hill.
Archaeological excavations at the castle site revealed hundreds of flint tools made by Neanderthals, indicating human presence long before the fortress construction.
