Niedzica Castle

Niedzica Castle (Dunajec Castle) is a medieval hilltop fortress in southern Poland overlooking the Dunajec River and Lake Czorsztyn. Built in the early 14th century and altered in later centuries, it forms a compact complex of towers, residential wings and fortified curtain walls and today houses a historical museum after 20th-century restoration. The castle stands on a steep wooded limestone promontory in the Pieniny mountains.

As it stood in 1600

The shape it held in its prime.

Perched on a steep, wooded limestone promontory above the Dunajec (now Lake Czorsztyn), the castle reads as a densely packed group of pale, weathered masonry buildings: a tall square keep with a flagged mast, adjoining residential wings with steep slate roofs, crenellated curtain walls and several towers including at least one round turret with a conical roof. The ensemble forms an irregular silhouette against the Pieniny ridgeline, with a central courtyard enclosed by the wings and arcades.
