Burg Draheim, Medieval castle ruins in Stare Drawsko, Poland

The stone fortification stands on elevated ground between Lake Drawsko and Lake Żerdno, featuring preserved walls and defensive structures from different construction periods.

The Knights Templar received this land from Polish Duke Przemysł II in 1268, establishing it as a center for German settlement in the region.

The castle served as the administrative center of Starostwo Draheim, representing Polish royal authority and regional governance throughout the medieval period.

The castle remains are accessible through marked trails from Stare Drawsko village, with informational panels explaining the structure's architectural elements.

The fortress changed ownership between Knights Hospitaller, robber barons, and Polish kings before becoming a strategic point in Brandenburg-Prussian territory.
