The Bobolice Castle is a 14th-century royal castle in the village of Bobolice, Poland. The complex is located within a semi-mountainous highland region called the Polish Jura.
The castle is situated on a steep rocky hill. Up till now, only the upper part of the stronghold (the residential building with at least two storeys and remnants of the cylindrical wall tower) has survived.
The castle was accessible through a drawbridge over the dry moat, and the entire construction was surrounded by walls with battlements, made of local white limestone.
Currently reconstruction works are under way in order to restore the entrance gate and the circumferential wall around the castle grounds.
The castle in Bobolice was built by King Casimir III the Great in the middle of the 14th century, probably in place of an earlier wooden structure.The castle was a part of the defence system of royal strongholds protecting the western border of Poland on the side of Silesia.
