Oporów Castle, Gothic castle in Oporów, Poland.

The brick fortress stands on a small mound surrounded by a moat, featuring a four-sided tower with two buttresses and perimeter walls.

Built between 1434 and 1449 by Władysław Oporowski, Deputy Chancellor of Poland and later Archbishop of Gniezno, who received university education abroad.

The castle museum displays court interiors with art collections and handicraft products from the 16th to early 20th century, representing nobility life.

The castle, situated 15 kilometers northeast of Kutno in Łódź Voivodeship, operates as a museum since 1949, allowing visitors to explore medieval architecture.

The structure maintains its original architectural elements, including 1.7-meter-thick walls and a former wooden drawbridge location across the water-filled moat.
