Stare Drawsko, Medieval settlement in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
Stare Drawsko occupies a strategic position between lakes Drawsko and Żerdno, with stone ruins of a medieval castle on the isthmus.
The Knights Hospitaller established a fortress in the 14th century, which later became a stronghold under alternating Polish and Prussian control.
The village maintains traditional Polish agricultural practices and preserves the architectural heritage of its former German influences until 1945.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked trails from the village center, with informational panels explaining the medieval fortification system.
The settlement functioned as the capital of Starostwo Drahimskie, a special administrative district pawned to Brandenburg by Polish King John II Casimir in 1657.
