Lordship of Hummel, Medieval castle ruins in Lewin Kłodzki, Poland

The stone fortress stands on a hilltop above the Bystrzyca Dusznicka river valley, featuring remnants of defensive walls and structural foundations.

Built in the 10th century under the Slavník dynasty, the castle served as a strategic checkpoint on the trade route between Prague and Wrocław.

The castle's name evolved from Landfried to Hummel, reflecting the changing influences of German, Czech, and Polish control through centuries.

The castle ruins require a moderate hike through forest paths, with parking available at the base of the hill in Lewin Kłodzki.

The only known visual documentation of the castle comes from sketches made during Elector Palatine Otto Henry's journey in 1536.
