Liw Castle, Gothic castle in Liw, Poland.

The castle stands on an artificial island supported by oak poles, featuring a square layout of approximately 33 by 32.5 meters with brick walls.

Built in the 15th century by Prince Janusz I the Elder, the castle functioned as a border watchtower to protect the crossing over the Liwiec River.

The castle hosts the annual Historical Festival 'Knights Medieval' where visitors experience medieval traditions through demonstrations and performances.

The museum within the castle displays an extensive collection of weapons, operating from Tuesday through Sunday with specific morning to afternoon hours.

The remaining gate tower and wall fragments incorporate architectural elements from the second half of the 16th century following a reconstruction between 1957 and 1961.
