Bolków Castle, Medieval castle in Bolków, Poland
The castle stands on a hill 396 meters above sea level, with steep cliffs dropping 90 meters toward the Nysa Szalona River below.
Built in 1277 under Duke Bolesław II of Legnica, the castle expanded significantly during the reign of Duke Bolko I who added defensive walls and gates.
The castle functions as a museum displaying permanent exhibitions about the defensive architecture of the Świdnica-Jawor Duchy through historical artifacts and documents.
The castle remains closed for visitors until October 20, 2024, but typically offers guided tours, a museum collection, and panoramic views from the 25-meter tower.
Each year the castle transforms into a venue for Castle Party festival, gathering medieval crafts demonstrations and mineral fairs within its stone walls.
