Ruins of the royal castle in the western part of Międzyrzecz, on a stronghold at the confluence of the Obra and Paklica rivers. Part of a complex with the Museum of the Międzyrzecz Region.
The first mention of a castle in Międzyrzecz dates back to 1002. The masonry castle was erected under Casimir the Great. Its heyday ended with the wars of the 17th century – destroyed by the Swedes, it has been in ruins ever since. A special sightseeing route runs around the ruins (with a moat).
The ruins are open to visitors (entry through the gate and a walk around the moat are possible).
Międzyrzecz, western part of the town.
Note: this is a supplement to an existing entry about Międzyrzecz in the database – it concerns the complex of royal castle ruins with a route along the walls and the moat.
