Nowy Dwór Castle in Wałbrzych, Medieval castle ruins in Wałbrzych, Poland.
The stone remnants of Nowy Dwór Castle stand on Castle Mountain at 618 meters elevation, with fragments of two buildings and courtyard walls still visible.
Built in the early 14th century under Duke Bolek I of Świdnica, the castle served as a border fortress to protect the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor from southern invasions.
The castle became a center for medieval metallurgy, with nearby cities Świdnica, Strzegom, and Jawor supplying weapons and hosting blacksmith workshops.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following the yellow hiking trail from Wałbrzych Główny Railway Station, with the walk taking approximately 30 minutes.
In 1581, a lightning strike caused a fire in the residential area, leading the Czettritz family to abandon the castle and build a new residence in Wałbrzych.
