Moryń Castle

The Stolzenburg is a 14th-century ruin in Moryń, located in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, on Lake Morzycko, on the Zamczysko peninsula. It was built around 1370 by the Brandenburgers on the site of an earlier Slavic fortified settlement. Originally, it stood on an island, which was later connected to the mainland. A rectangular building measuring 13.5 x 19 meters served residential purposes. The castle was probably destroyed at the end of the 14th century by Duke Swantibor I of Szczecin and fell into ruin after its abandonment. At the end of the 14th century, the castle lost its military function and King Sigismund of Luxembourg handed the property over to private hands. Fragments of the brick and stone walls of the ground floor have been preserved.
