Witostowice Castle, Medieval castle in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Witostowice Castle is a moated castle in Lower Silesia with a regular, roughly square plan. Three wings of residential and farm buildings enclose a courtyard; the fourth side is closed by a curtain wall ending in two round towers. A double moat, inner and outer, is divided by an earthen rampart with bastions.

A water castle existed here by 1361, when it is documented as a medieval Wasserburg. In the 16th century it was rebuilt as a fortified castle, probably under the von Zierotin family, with the architect Giovanni Bernardo; the outlying bastions he added are still visible. The round tower at the southwest corner and the half-round tower at the northwest corner are among the oldest surviving parts.

The castle chapel, restored in the ground floor of the central wing, is open every Sunday and holiday with the owner's consent. In 1736 the Cistercians of Henryków commissioned the Jaschke sculptors' workshop in Bardo to carve figures of Saints John Nepomucene and Florian for the castle.

The site is accessible when gates are open, though visiting requires checking local conditions beforehand. Walking around the exterior gives a good sense of its defensive layout before attempting to explore the interior.

The castle drew water from tributaries of the Oawa River to fill its surrounding moat, creating a natural water barrier. This arrangement distinguishes it as a water-based defensive structure in the area.
