Żmigród Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Żmigród, Poland

The remaining tower, constructed with Flemish bond brickwork, stands 4 stories tall with a quadrilateral base measuring 10.4 by 10.8 meters.

The castle, first recorded in 1296, served as a strategic point for the Duchy of Głogów before becoming part of the Oleśnica principality.

The structure witnessed a significant diplomatic event in 1813 when European monarchs gathered to establish military strategies against Napoleon Bonaparte.

Following restoration between 2007 and 2012, the Gothic tower contains exhibition spaces, conference rooms, and an observation deck for visitors.

The fortress location among marshes and floodplains of Barycza River influenced its German name Trachenberg, which translates to Dragon Mountain.
