Tenczyn Castle, Medieval castle in Rudno, Poland
The stone fortress stands on Castle Hill at 411 meters above sea level, featuring defensive walls, towers, and a courtyard within its perimeter.
The initial wooden structure from 1319 by Nawój of Morawica underwent transformation into a brick fortress, serving as the residence of the Tęczyński family.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval defensive structures to Renaissance residential complexes, reflecting the changing needs of Polish nobility.
Visitors can explore the entrance bastion, defensive corridor, Nawojowa tower, and upper castle courtyard during the tourist season from July onwards.
The castle sits atop a former volcanic cone, allowing visitors to see the Tatra Mountains from its towers on clear days.
