Jawor Castle

Jawor Castle (Polish: Zamek w Jaworze, German: Schloss Jauer) is a castle in Jawor, Poland.

The first castle was a wooden stronghold; later, Duke Bolesław the Tall built a stone tower house.

The castle has been a seat of both the Piast dynasty and the Duchy of Jawor-Świdnica. Several politically significant events took place in the castle during the Middle Ages. In 1648, the castle saw damage when it was besieged by soldiers loyal to the Holy Roman Empire , but it was renovated later during the same century (1663–65). Another renovation was carried out in 1705, when the clock tower was repaired.
