Radosno Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sokołowsko, Poland
Radosno Castle is a medieval fortress ruin near Andrzejówka in the mountains of southern Poland. It consists of a cylindrical tower and remains of a residential building situated at about 770 meters elevation.
The fortress was first recorded in 1350 as Vredinberg and served as a knight's fief under local nobility. Over the centuries it changed hands multiple times and held strategic importance in the region for a long period.
The name comes from the German owners who controlled the castle in the Middle Ages. Today the ruins show how fortifications in this region were built and who lived there.
The ruins are freely accessible and located in a hiking area with marked trails from nearby shelters. The best way to visit is on foot using regional hiking routes, particularly from the access points in the area.
The tower entrance was positioned about 4 meters above ground, allowing defenders to remove wooden access structures during attacks. This design was a common security feature in medieval fortifications of that era and region.
