Buildings in Biecz, Medieval royal residence in Biecz, Poland.

The stone buildings of Biecz feature rectangular defensive walls, a northern gate with towers, and strategic positioning near the Ropa River.

King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk ordered the demolition of the original castle in 1475, leading to stone fragments scattered across the surrounding countryside.

The buildings represent the architectural evolution of Polish military and administrative structures from the 13th through the 16th centuries.

The foundation remains are open for exploration at coordinates 49.7303 latitude and 21.2525 longitude in southeastern Poland.

Three separate castles existed in different periods at this location, with one site now occupied by a Franciscan church and another by hospital grounds.
