Bolków Castle, Medieval castle ruin on Castle Hill in Bolków, Poland.
The stone fortress stands on a 396-meter hill above the Nysa Szalona River, featuring defensive walls that extend across 7,600 square meters of land.
Prince Bolesław II of Legnica initiated the construction in 1277, while his son Bolko I expanded the stronghold to defend trade routes in the region.
The castle houses a regional museum displaying medieval artifacts and hosts the annual Castle Party festival, gathering gothic music enthusiasts from across Europe.
The castle remains open to visitors throughout the week, with exhibition halls closed on Mondays when entrance to the grounds becomes free of charge.
The 25-meter defensive tower contains an unusual architectural element - a triangular stone beak pointing southward, making it distinct among Polish castle structures.
