Sławków Castle, Medieval castle in Sławków, Poland
The stone castle stands on elevated ground with remaining walls and foundations displaying characteristics of medieval defensive architecture from southern Poland.
The Bishops of Kraków constructed this fortified residence during the 14th century as part of their administrative network across the region.
The castle forms an integral section of the Eagle's Nests trail, connecting multiple medieval fortifications that shaped the historical landscape of southern Poland.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking paths from the Sławków town center, located 30 kilometers east of Katowice.
The castle foundations reveal an uncommon octagonal tower design, which differs from typical square layouts found in other Polish episcopal fortifications.
