Rożnów
Poland, Poland
Rożnów is a village in southern Poland's Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Nowy Sącz County, perched on a hill above the Dunajec River valley where a 13th-century watchtower by the Gryfita family evolved into a Gothic knight's castle around 1336-1370, owned later by Zawisza Czarny in 1426.
In the 16th century, Hetman Jan Tarnowski started a grand lower Renaissance fortress nearby to guard against Ottoman threats, leaving an unfinished bastion after his 1561 death, while the upper castle fell into picturesque ruins of walls and buildings.
Today, these remnants attract visitors amid scenic countryside near Rożnów Lake, blending medieval history with natural beauty in the region's rolling terrain.
