Ossolin Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Ossolin, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland
The castle features a pentagon-shaped layout with bastion fortifications, a dry moat, and extensive stone walls representing 17th-century military architecture.
Founded by Krzysztof Ossoliński, the castle received a visit from King Władysław IV Vasa in 1644 and suffered severe damage during the Bar Confederation battles of 1769.
The architectural design incorporates numerous symbolic elements, with towers representing seasons and windows corresponding to days of the year within its structure.
The ruins, managed by the Municipal Office in Iwaniska since 2007, maintain regular visiting hours and offer designated paths for exploring the historical complex.
The castle's construction employed an unusual mortar mixture containing protein from chicken eggs to strengthen the binding between stones in its walls.
