Dobczyce castle - Poland

Castles are never enough. I already have many from Poland but i'm always trying to get new ones. This time i've the the ruins of the medieval castle in Dobczyce, a town in southern Poland.

The ruins of the Royal Castle in Dobczyce, situated some 30 km south of Kraków, overlook the beautiful Raba River valley. The castle - built on a steep cliff during the 14th century - became a prominent cultural centre for the region during the 15th century. It was heavily damaged during the wars in the 18th century and is presently under restoration. It's worth visiting not only to see the remains of Gothic defensive walls, the chapel and towers but also to admire the picturesque panoramic view of the valley. - in: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2787962-dobczyce_castle_zamek_w_dobczycach_krakow-i
