Grodno Castle, Gothic castle in Zagórze Śląskie, Poland.
The stone fortress stands at 450 meters elevation on Choina Mountain, overlooking the Bystrzyca River valley in the Wałbrzych Mountains.
Duke Bolesław I the Tall commissioned the castle in 1193 as part of a defense network between the Duchy of Jawor and Kingdom of Bohemia.
The Grodno Castle Brotherhood maintains medieval traditions through annual fairs in May, featuring demonstrations of knight combat and period customs.
Visitors can explore the castle daily from 9 AM to 5 PM in winter months and until 7 PM during summer, with audio guides available in English.
The castle houses a medieval torture chamber in its underground level and displays a skeleton associated with Silesian princess Margaret.
