Rogowiec Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sokołowsko, Poland.

The castle remains include foundations, perimeter wall sections, and a cylindrical tower standing at three meters in height on a rocky hilltop.

Built by Prince Bolko I of Świdnica-Jawor in the late 13th century, the castle protected trade routes and marked the southern border of his principality.

The castle carries different names across languages, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the region through Czech, German, and Polish variations.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails that connect to nearby areas in the Sudetes mountain range.

Standing at 870 meters above sea level, Rogowiec Castle holds the distinction of being among the highest positioned medieval fortifications in Poland.
