Bodzentyn Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bodzentyn, Poland

The stone fortress stands on a hill above the Psarka River, with remaining fragments of three wings displaying various architectural periods.

Bishop Florian Mokrski initiated the construction of the stone castle in the second half of the fourteenth century, replacing an earlier wooden structure.

The castle served as a residence for numerous Krakow bishops who transformed the building from Medieval to Renaissance and later Baroque styles.

Visitors can examine the preserved castle walls, towers, and residential sections that showcase the evolution of Polish defensive architecture.

King Wladyslaw Jagiello stopped at this castle during his pilgrimage to the Holy Cross before the Battle of Grunwald in 1410.
