The ruins of Bolkow Castle are among the oldest and most interesting fortified buildings in Poland. The tower with an edge is the key element of the system of Bolkow's fortifications. Its shape is unique in country's scale. The edge is oriented to the south, from where the attackers were mostly expected to come. Its shape decreased the risk of being shot by a cannonball, which would rather rebound from the sharp-edged walls than damage them. The monumental tower is a perfect vantage point with the panorama of the town of Bolkow and the Kaczawy. Having in mind the fact that it is one of the places where the Amber Room is believed to have been buried, along with many others treasures, we can decide that Bolkow castle is worth seeing. The castle is also one of the favourites places of today's knights, who fight there a few times a year at the most prestige tournaments in Poland.
