Zamek Quingenburg, Medieval fortress in Wałbrzych, Poland.

The castle stands on a hilltop overlooking the Pełcznica River gorge, with 400 rooms spread across 11,000 square meters of space.

Construction began in 1288 under Duke Bolko I, and the structure served as a defensive stronghold before becoming a noble residence in the 16th century.

The castle museum displays collections of artifacts, furniture, and paintings that represent different periods of Silesian aristocratic life through the centuries.

Guided tours operate daily from April through October, providing access to restored chambers, underground tunnels, and the surrounding landscape park.

During World War II, Nazi forces transformed parts of the castle into underground facilities as part of Project Riese, creating an extensive network of passages.
