Ratno Dolne Castle, Renaissance castle in Ratno Dolne, Poland.

The rectangular fortress spans 14 by 22 meters, featuring a six-story tower and Renaissance attic within stone fortification walls and earthen ramparts.

The castle, first mentioned in 1347, underwent major modifications in 1501 when Count Ulrich von Hardegg added defensive structures and Renaissance elements.

The castle represents the architectural preferences of Silesian nobility, incorporating both military defense features and residential comforts typical of Renaissance residences.

The ruins require careful navigation due to structural instability, with unrestricted access to grounds offering views of remaining Renaissance architectural elements.

A small cemetery adjacent to the castle grounds connects to an abandoned park containing the remnants of an old orangery structure.
