Castle in Złocieniec, Medieval castle ruins in Złocieniec, Poland
The castle structure stands on an elevated slope next to the Drawa River, featuring walls constructed with bricks in monk bond pattern measuring 2.1 meters thick.
The castle's construction began in the early fourteenth century under Ludolf I von Wedel, who received the land from the margrave of Brandenburg in 1313.
The castle remains are registered on the Polish cultural heritage list as number 18 in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, representing regional medieval architecture.
The Gothic cellars of the castle, though preserved, remain closed to visitors, while the remaining parts of the structure exist in various states of deterioration.
The castle witnessed a notable siege by the Teutonic Knights in 1389 following knight Ekhard von dem Wolde's attack on Prince Wilhelm of Gelderland's entourage.
