Cisy Castle
Poland, Poland
Cisy Castle, located near Cieszów in Lower Silesia, Poland, within the Książ Landscape Park, is a Gothic ruin built at the turn of the 13th-14th centuries likely by Duke Bolko I the Strict of Świdnica-Jawor to guard western borders, featuring a trapezoidal upper ward (22x28 meters) of local sandstone with buttressed walls and a 10-meter-diameter cylindrical southeastern tower. Expanded with baileys, a chapel, hypocaust heating, and semicircular bastions by the 15th-16th centuries under owners like Ruprecht von Czeisberg, it withstood Hussite assaults but was damaged during the Thirty Years' War, leading to abandonment. The preserved remnants—tower fragments, walls, gate, and dry moat—overlook the Czyżynka River valley, accessible via hiking trails as a historic site tied to Piast dukedoms.
