Korzkiew Castle
Korzkiew, Poland, Poland
Korzkiew Castle in Korzkiew, southern Poland, is a 14th-century Gothic fortress built in the third quarter of that century by Jan of Syrokomla on a rocky promontory above the Korzkiewka River bend, featuring an initial free-standing rectangular stone tower house (9.5x12 meters, 2.5-meter-thick walls) surrounded by a perimeter wall with a southern gate, later enhanced by two protruding rectangular towers and attic galleries with keyhole arrowslits for firearms. Rebuilt in late Gothic style around 1500 by Piotr Krupka, then Renaissance expansions in the 1580s by the Ługowscy brothers including a northeastern residential wing with staircase, and Baroque interior/facade updates circa 1720 by Michał Jordan, it endured the Swedish Deluge before falling into 19th-century ruin. Fully reconstructed since 1997 by private investor Jerzy Donimirski based on historical research, it now stands as a medieval-style residence on the Eagles' Nests Trail, blending original defenses with later comforts amid forests and a nearby parish church.
