The ruins of the castle in Bodzentyn

Bodzentyn, Poland, Poland

The ruins of the castle in Bodzentyn, Poland, are remnants of a Gothic bishop's residence built in the mid-14th century by Kraków Bishop Florian z Mokrska on a hill above the Psarka River, following earlier wooden structures from Bishop Bodzenta around 1355. It served as a defensive seat and administrative hub for episcopal lands, hosting King Władysław Jagiełło in 1410 en route to the Battle of Grunwald, and later underwent Baroque renovations in the 17th century before declining after the Kielce palace's completion in 1642. Used as a granary and hospital under Austrian rule post-1797, it fell into ruin by 1815 from neglect and material scavenging, gaining protection in 1902 with surviving walls outlining its horseshoe plan and courtyard.
