Frankenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Ząbkowice Śląskie, Poland.
The castle exhibits Gothic fortifications with stone towers, vaulted gate passages, and defensive walls standing on a strategic hill position.
Bernard of Świdnica constructed this fortified residence in the early 14th century, establishing it as a center of power in Lower Silesia.
The castle's German name 'Frankenstein' and local plague events from the 17th century connect to broader European folklore traditions.
Visitors access the castle ruins through Krzywa Street in Ząbkowice Śląskie, with guided tours available at designated entrance points.
The castle features two restored roundels and reconstructed vault structures in the gate tower, completed during renovations in 2017.
