Iłża Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Iłża, Poland

The stone castle stands on a hill with a cylindrical tower and perimeter walls built in a triangular layout above the Iłżanka River.

Bishop Jan Grot initiated the construction of this stone fortress in the second quarter of the 14th century to serve as an administrative center.

The castle site hosts historical tournaments and events that present medieval traditions and connect visitors with regional heritage throughout the year.

Located 30 kilometers south of Radom, the castle ruins remain open for exploration with informational panels explaining the structural elements.

The castle features a rare combination of episcopal administrative center and defensive fortification, reflecting its dual purpose in medieval Poland.
