Stary Książ Castle, Artificial ruin castle in Wałbrzych, Poland.

The stone fortress sits on elevated terrain overlooking the Pełcznica river gorge, featuring eclectic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Built in 1794, the castle initially served as a decorative addition to the larger Książ Castle complex, reflecting late 18th-century architectural preferences.

The castle represents Polish architectural heritage through its designation as an immovable monument, preserving regional building traditions and design elements.

Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking trails in the Książ Landscape Park, which connect to the main Książ Castle complex.

The structure combines artificial ruins with actual fortification elements, creating a distinct architectural composition in the Sudetes mountains.
