Take a tour of Ogrodzieniec Castle in Poland – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Initially built as a defensive structure in the 12th century, Ogrodzieniec Castle is now a remarkable stone ruin in a Polish town of the same name.
The castle still contains traces of its Gothic foundation, but its 16th century Renaissance restorations are the dominant features.
Certain segments of the castle are constructed from the local limestone supply.
The castle is a stop on the Eagles' Nests Trail which stretches across south Poland, following a strain of twenty-five ancient ruins.
Parts of the castle are built into the cliffs or stand on tall walls of limestone.
Though the castle is a mere shadow of its former splendor, it is still a breathtaking site to explore.
