Piast Castle in Chojnów, Medieval castle in Chojnów, Poland.
The stone castle features Gothic architecture with a rectangular layout, situated on an elevated position overlooking the Skora River valley.
Documents from 1329 signed by John of Bohemia confirm the castle's existence, making it one of the earliest defensive structures in Lower Silesia.
The Renaissance portal displays detailed sculptural busts of Frederick III and Catherine of Mecklenburg, representing the artistic achievements of 16th-century craftsmanship.
The castle houses the Regional Museum, which presents exhibitions about local history through artifacts, documents, and archaeological findings from the area.
During the castle's renovation in 1546, Italian architect Franciszek Paar incorporated distinctive architectural elements that merged Gothic and Renaissance styles.
