Zamek Pieniński
Pieniny Castle (Zamek Pieniny), also called the Castle of St. Kinga, is a ruined medieval stronghold on Zamkowa Góra near Krościenko nad Dunajcem in the Pieniny mountains of southern Poland. Dated to the late 13th century, the stone castle is notable for being an early masonry fortress integrated into a steep rocky slope above streams and valleys. Today only fragmentary walls, a deep stone cistern and traces of ramparts remain within woodland.

As it stood in 1287
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact high-mountain masonry stronghold built of pale, roughly coursed limestone and mortar, set into a steep, wooded northern slope. The plan includes continuous curtain walls stepped along the incline, a long narrow masonry walkway and parapet following the ridge, and a deep rectangular stone-lined cistern recessed into the bedrock. Around the ruins are steep rocky crags and dense beech/fir woodland; the walls rise directly from the slope and are partially bonded to natural rock outcrops.
