Zamek Golesz w Krajowicach, Medieval castle ruins in Krajowice, Poland.

The castle remains include stone walls and fragments of a circular tower situated on a hill near national road 73, east of the Wisłoka River.

Built after 1420 as a residence for the local starosta who managed the property of the Tyniec Benedictine abbey until its destruction in 1657.

The castle name Golesz derives from a term meaning bare land, indicating the strategic military advantage of an unforested defensive position.

Archaeological excavations in 2009 revealed sections of the tower, bastion, and curtain wall, providing research opportunities for medieval architecture studies.

Local excavations uncovered ceramic fragments dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, confirming the extended period of the castle's occupation.
