Castle Żarnowcu, Medieval castle ruins in Żarnowiec, Poland
The castle complex covered a rectangular area of 105 by 125 meters with corner towers and a residential building on its western side.
King Casimir the Great constructed this fortress in the first half of the 14th century, using limestone and brick as primary building materials.
The castle served as temporary residence for Queen Adelaide of Hesse during 1355-1356 when she lived separated from King Casimir.
Archaeological excavations in 1994 revealed foundation remains and a corner tower, providing insights into the original 14th-century construction methods.
The castle stood on marshy meadows near Pilica River, surrounded by a water-filled moat that utilized the natural river flow.
