Castle Połonnem

Castle Polonnem is a fortified structure in Polonne with several stone towers positioned along thick walls that surround a central courtyard. The ruins can still be explored today and remain visible in the town.

The castle was built in the 14th century under Lithuanian influence and was part of a network of fortifications protecting trade routes. It played a key role in defending the region against attacks from the east.

The castle shows building styles that were common in this region and reflect local craftsmanship of the time. Visitors can still see today how the walls and towers were constructed from materials that were available nearby.

The castle is located in the center of Polonne and can be reached on foot, with paths leading to the ruins. It is a good idea to set aside time to explore and photograph the different parts of the site.

The castle has an unusual five-sided shape and double gate towers that were specifically designed for defense against regional threats. These features show how builders adapted their strategies to local conditions.
