Zamek Kapituły Warmińskiej w Pieniężnie, Gothic castle ruins in Pieniężno, Poland.
The Warmian Chapter Castle stands on a steep hill above the Wałsza River, featuring four wings with the main residential building on the western side.
The castle, constructed in the early 14th century, served as a residence for sixteen canons who managed the cathedral church and governed the Warmian territory.
Nicolaus Copernicus stayed at the castle from October 1518 to March 1519 while supervising the surrounding villages belonging to the chapter.
The castle remains contain Gothic vaulted cellars and a main building measuring 45 by 11 meters, built with brick on stone foundations.
During the Thirteen Years' War, the castle's recapture from Teutonic Knights led to a fire that claimed 500 lives and destroyed the entire city.
