Niemcza Castle, Medieval castle in Niemcza, Poland
The castle consists of two perpendicular wings positioned at the northern edge of a hill, featuring sgraffito decorations on the northern wing's exterior walls.
The stone fortress replaced a wooden stronghold in the 13th century under the initiative of Duke Bolko I of Świdnica, incorporating elements of earlier fortifications.
The Renaissance reconstruction in 1585, led by architect Bernard Niuron, transformed the structure into a four-wing residence with decorative portals and detailed facades.
The castle grounds remain enclosed and inaccessible to visitors, though the external walls and architectural elements can be viewed from the nearby market square.
The basement level preserves original cross-vaulted cellars that date back to the medieval period of the castle's construction.
