Karpień Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Karpiak Mountain, Lądek-Zdrój, Poland
The castle stands at an elevation of 758 meters on Karpiak Mountain, featuring stone walls that controlled the upper Biała Ladecka river valley.
Built in the 14th century, the fortress protected the Salt Route through Karpow Pass until its destruction during the Hussite Wars in 1428.
The stones from Karpień Castle were later used to construct the Jerzy treatment facility, marking the transition to Lądek-Zdrój's spa tradition.
Two marked hiking trails lead to the castle ruins: a blue route from Lądek-Zdrój and a green path from Gierałtowska Pass.
A stone block carved with the castle's layout in 1883 remains visible in the courtyard, providing visitors with historical architectural information.
