Swobnica Castle (Polish Zamek Swobnica) is the ruin of a castle in Swobnica (German: Wildenbruch) in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland. The castle ruin lies about 40 kilometres south of Szczecin and about 20 kilometres east of Schwedt/Oder on the shore of a silted-up lake. The castle was built in the 14th century in the Duchy of Pomerania as an order castle of the Knights Hospitaller commandery of Wildenbruch, was later rebuilt as a Baroque palace and remodelled again in the 19th century.
