Catch The PLANE & get INSANE
Ruins Of The Danków Fortress is the only structure of this type in Poland!
Once in Danków there was a Gothic-Renaissance knight's castle.
Although the castle no longer exists,
we can still visit the ruins of a 17th-century bastion fortress.
DANKÓW IS A PLACE COVERED WITH MISTERY
There is a lot of aspects that aren't clear in the historical records, e.g:
➡️ Until now, it was believed that in the 13th century there was a defensive stronghold in Danków, but recent research indicates that there is no mention of the existence of the stronghold in historical records.
➡️ Encyclopedias and diaries from the 19th century state that the castle in Danków has existed since the Middle Ages, however there's no evidence for that.
➡️ In 1655, the castle probably wasn't attacked by the Swedes and was one of the few places in Poland that were not occupied by them during the Deluge.
CASTLE LAYOUT
↪️ From the east, the castle was completely inaccessible -
it was protected by a large artificial lake.
↪️ There was no brick residence in the castle,
and the main residential building of the owners was built of wood.
↪️ There was a brick shed in the castle, which may have used the walls of an older building,
and a kitchen.
↪️ There was a brick church of St. Stanisław, rather larger size.
