Castle Przegorzały, Gothic palace in Przegorzały, Kraków, Poland
The castle stands on a limestone hill, featuring three levels of stone construction with a massive entrance portal and arcaded terraces overlooking the Vistula River.
Built in 1941 during Nazi occupation, the palace was designed by architect Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz for Otto von Wächter, who served as governor of the Kraków district.
The castle currently houses two institutions of the Jagiellonian University: the Institute of European Studies and the Holocaust Research Center.
The castle restaurant occupies two levels with terraces, providing dining options while offering views of the Vistula River and the Beskidy Mountains.
The structure represents one of the few examples of Third Reich architecture in Poland, incorporating German castle design elements with local limestone materials.
