Ze średniowiecznymi miastami górniczymi w Europie Środkowej związane były zamki położone zarówno w ich obrębie, jak i poza murami. Celem artykułu jest wyjaśnienie, jakie były związki tych zamków z górnictwem i czym różniły się od zamków w miastach niezwiązanych z górnictwem. W artykule omówiono położenie, formę i funkcje wybranych zamków z ośrodków górniczych o różnej wielkości. Zamki położone w obrębie murów, jak w Kutnej Horze, Wieliczce czy Bochni, odgrywały rolę siedziby administracji, magazynów i zakładów rzemieślniczych. Podobnie funkcjonował zamek w Kremnicy oraz położony poza centrum zamek w Bańskiej Szczawnicy. Były to obiekty o zróżnicowanej strukturze przestrzennej dostosowanej także do działalności w ramach przedsiębiorstwa górniczego. Związki z górnictwem są trudniejsze do udowodnienia w przypadku zamków położonych w oddaleniu od miasta, przede wszystkim sugeruje je przestrzenna relacja ze złożami. Wydaje się, że takie zamki jak Edelštein w Zlatych Horach, zamki w pobliżu Bańskiej Szczawnicy, Rokitnica koło Złotoryi czy zamek Rabsztyn pod Olkuszem miały na celu ochronę i kontrolę obszarów górniczych. Wszystkie te obiekty pełniły ponadto liczne funkcje niezwiązane bezpośrednio z górnictwem.

Medieval mining towns in Central Europe were related with castles, both inside and outside of them. The aim of this article is to explain the relation between those castles and mining and how they differed from castles in towns not associated with mining. The article discusses the location, form and functions of selected castles from mining centres of different sizes. Castles located within the walls of towns, such as in Kutná Hora, Wieliczka or Bochnia served as the seat of administration, warehouses and craftsmen’s workshops. The castle in Kremnica and the castle in Banská Štiavnica, located outside the centre, functioned in a similar way. They spatial function was diversified and adapted also to the activities of the mining company. The link with mining is more difficult to prove in the case of castles located at some distance from the town. First of all, it is suggested by the spatial relationship with deposits. It seems that castles such as Edelštein in Zlaté Hory, castles near Banská Štiavnica, Rokitno near Złotoryja or Rabsztyn Castle near Olkusz were intended to protect and control mining areas. Moreover, they probably had numerous functions not directly related to mining.

Trzynasty wiek był nie tylko świetlanym okresem panowania ostatnich królów charyzmatycznej dynastii Przemyślidów, ale także okresem stopniowej i długotrwałej transformacji ziem Królestwa Czeskiego, która zasadniczo zmieniła jego wygląd i sposób życia jego mieszkańców. Oprócz ukonstytuowania się szlachty jako grupy społecznej reprezentowanej przez różnorodne symbole wizualne, jednym z przejawów tej przemiany było zastąpienie wczesnośredniowiecznych grodów nowymi kamiennymi zamkami. Wysokie średniowieczne zamki, w przeciwieństwie do swoich poprzedników, miały bardziej zróżnicowane spektrum funkcji, które dodatkowo różniły się w zależności od poszczególnych przypadków. Zamki wczesnego średniowiecza w rozmaity sposób łączyły swoją główną funkcję mieszkalną z funkcjami wojskowymi, centrotwórczymi, administracyjnymi, gospodarczymi, prawnymi i symbolicznymi. Celem artykułu jest nie tylko przedstawienie skomplikowanych początków zamków w północnozachodnich Czechach (dzisiejszy region Ústí), ale także próba opisu tendencji rozwojowych architektury zamkowej aż do późnego średniowiecza. W swojej pracy autor skupił się na opisie i interpretacji kilku kluczowych obiektów oraz na zarysie ogólnych trendów.

The oldest royal and nobility castles appear in Northwestern Bohemia in the 2nd third of the 13th century. Builders mainly use castles with a Bergfried and a palace or with a donjon, regular castle dispositions remain limited to the environment of royal cities. However, the growth in construction of nobility castles did not occur until the reign of John the Blind, when many of them were built as fief castles. During the 14th century we can observe different tendencies in the construction of castles. There are more sophisticated mansions, where a large palace stands as the main building. In the last quarter of the 14th century we can already observe decline in the use of defensive components. The direction of the castle architecture towards comfortable settlements was disrupted by the Hussite wars and the massive development of firearms. During the war years in Bohemia, an ingenious architecture was being created using both passive and active defence means, which spread throughout Europe and formed one of the sources of inspiration for modern bastion fortresses. After the Hussite wars, we see tendencies aimed at improving the quality of residential and representational components. The purpose of this article is not only to present the complicated beginnings of castles in northwestern Bohemia (today’s Ústí region), but also to attempt to describe the development trends of castle architecture until the late Middle Ages. In his work, the author focused on the description and interpretation of several key objects and on the outline of general trends.

In the second half of the 19th and early 20th century first scientific studies of the castle were created by German scientists. Architectural research was carried out in the 1980s, but the castle was never subject to extensive archaeological and architectural research. Over the past decades, researchers usually have tended to repeat older views. New information was brought by historians' research a few years ago. Extensive archaeological and architectural research of the castle began in 2019. They also included the analysis of test trenches made in 2018 under the supervision of Zbigniew Sawicki and Ewa Fudzińska. There functioned a view that the castle was likely built in place of an Old Prussian stronghold. Current research, however, forces us to reject it. As for the chronology of the masonry castle construction, it was associated with the first mentions of officials related Sztum (1330s). The information about the foundation of the fortalicium by Albrecht III Habsburg in 1377 instead, was associated with the addition of one of the three castle towers. However, current research has negated this interpretation. All towers were erected at the beginning of the castle construction. The dating of the archaeological material confirms that the construction of the castle began as late as in the second half of the 14th century, i.e. in connection with the foundation of 1377. The research also brought new knowledge about the spatial arrangement and construction techniques of the castle. In trenches 1 and 4–4a, the foundations of half-pillars of the defensive wall’s arcades were documented. In addition, the walls of the eastern tower and the adjacent second castle gate were unearthed (trenches 2–2a and 5a), which were built together with the perimeter wall of the complex. The layout of the slopes and moat layers was recognised (trenches Nos. 7, 11, 13 and drillings). The layouts of construction embankments were also recognised inside the castle (trenches 1–1a, 2–2a–2b, 4–4a–4b and 12). As for the internal buildings, relics of the house of grand masters have been identified in the southeastern part of the castle (trenches 1–1a, 6, 8). It was found that in the Middle Ages, the space between the southeastern outbuilding and the eastern tower was built up (trenches 2–2a). In the north presence of the medieval and early post-medieval phase of economic buildings (trench 12) was found, while in the west the existence of the building in the Middle Ages was not confirmed (trench 4–4a–4b). The relics of the west wing discovered there come from the post-medieval period.

Radzyń Chełmiński is situated in the northern part of the Chełmno Land. In the Middle Ages, an important route from Pomesania led through that area. In that strategic place, most probably on the basis of an early medieval settlement, the Teutonic Knights led by Herman Balk erected the first fortress in 1234. In 1243, it was one of a few which was not conquered by Prussian rebels. In mid-13th century, it became a komtur’s seat. As the archaeological research has shown, the masonry castle was erected in a new place. On the basis of the research, as well as the architectural analysis of the preserved walls and size of bricks, it is possible to reconstruct the building process of the fortress. In the first phase, in the following stages, which had basically been pre-planned, the convent building was erected. In the first stage, a curtain wall of the convent building was built in narrow-space foundation trenches and, at the same time, window openings, vault prop and toothing for future partition walls of the flanks were prepared. After erecting a curtain wall, the level of the area around the convent house was raised by about 2.5 meters, creating an artificial hill. In the following stage, the main (southern) flank was erected. On the level of the cellars, short rudiments of walls of the neighbouring flanks were built, leading out from its northern wall. Other flanks of the castle were built later. On the basis of the consistency of architecture and the measurement analysis of the bricks, it should be stated that the application in various parts of the building of the Wendish (cellars) and Gothic (ground parts, some partition walls in the cellars) brickwork does not mean that the phases of construction of those elements were distant in time. The sizes of the bricks used in the entire building are consistent irrespective of the brickwork. The use of the Wendish brickwork in the cellars can be explained by the fact that it was used for facing the stone wall, unlike the Gothic brickwork, which was in full brick walls. The buildings erected in the second stage of construction of the castle were made of brick of a visibly larger size. At that time, the bergfried was probably erected, as well as the outer ward with a dansker and an outer bailey. The use of various types of brickwork in the curtain wall of the latter should be explained by work of various teams of bricklayers. In connection with the construction of the elements of the castle listed above, further earth works were performed, that is, the level of the outer ward was elevated and made even, the plateau of the outer bailey was widened from the south and an embankment was constructed in front of its western curtain. The last medieval building works comprised the erection of buildings on the outer ward of the convent house. The chronology of construction of the castle was examined by researches in different ways. On the basis of forms of gables of the main flank, it can be determined that the construction of the convent house was completed in the 40s of the 14th century. Thus, it was probably undertaken before the congress of the dignitaries of the order, which was held in Radzyń in 1329. Perhaps, during the congress, the works on the rooms in the main flank of the castle (the chapel and the refectory) were about to be finished. On the other hand, it should be estimated that the outer ward and the bailey were erected in mid- and second half of the 14th century.

Papowo Castle is located about 35 km to the north of Toruń. It is distinguished by careful, stone construction. The history of this building, as well as its form, chronology and spatial distribution, has not been identified so far. Since 2005, archaeological and architectural studies were conducted on this unusual object. The work was carried by a team consists of archaeologists, conservators, ceramologists, etc. who are employed at the Nicolaus Copernicus University. This article presents a summary of current knowledge of the construction workshop and the results of archaeological and architectural studies – among others characteristic building elements discovered during archaeological research like tiles, floor tiles, ceilings elements, etc. Papowo Castle is an example of the komtur’s (governor) residence. It consisted of the main castle (the building of the convent) and lover castle. It belonged to a group of the smallest objects of this type in this region. Throughout the last century the castle and the surrounding were reconstructed on the basis of C. Steinbrecht studies published in 1888. Archaeological research conducted in 2005-2012 confirmed that previously castle reconstruction couldn’t be acepted. It turned out that there was no second line of the wall surrounding the Castle in the form visible on Steinbrecht reconstruction. From the north side there was only external, shallow funded wall. The main gate, a characteristic element of the castle, was closed by a wall running perpendicular to the north curtain. It was also found that there was no moat separating the high castle from lover castle. Translated by Marcin Wiewióra

Artykuł przedstawia dzieje i znaczenie zamku w Jagielnicy (a właściwie we wsi Nagórzanka k. Jagielnicy), przede wszystkim w okresie, kiedy służył polskiemu przemysłowi tytoniowemu. Początki twierdzy obronnej zbudowanej na wzgórzu sięgają XVI w. W ciągu wieków zamek przechodził różne koleje losu. Po odrestaurowaniu w XVIII w. był główną rezydencją Lanckorońskich. W 1817 r. zamek przeszedł w ręce rządu austriackiego. Urządzono tam fabrykę oraz magazyn tytoniu i wyrobów tytoniowych. W czasie I wojny światowej kompleks zamkowy został zniszczony. Po wojnie został on przejęty przez Polski Monopol Tytoniowy. Po odbudowie dawnych budynków i wzniesieniu nowych stał się siedzibą Zakładu Uprawy Tytoniu PMT w Jagielnicy. Po II wojnie zakład tytoniowy działał nadal, już na terenie USRR. Na początku XXI w. został sprywatyzowany. Obecnie trwają prace nad stworzeniem z zamku centrum turystyczno-wypoczynkowego przy uwzględnieniu kwestii ochrony dziedzictwa kulturowego.

This paper presents the history and significance of Jagielnica Castle (more specifically, it is located in the village of Nagórzanka, near Jagielnica) mainly during the period when it served the Polish tobacco industry. The early days of the stronghold, which was built on a hill, date back to the 16th century. Throughout the centuries the fortunes of the castle changed. After restoration in the 18th century, it became the main residence of the Lanckoroński family. In 1817 the castle became a property of the Austrian government. A factory and a warehouse for tobacco and tobacco products were established there. During World War I the castle complex was destroyed. After war it was taken over by the Polish Tobacco Monopoly. After the old buildings were rebuilt and new ones were constructed, it became the seat of the Tobacco Cultivation Plant PTM in Jagielnica. After World War II the tobacco plant still operated, but it was in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. In the early 21st century it was privatized. Today there are efforts to establish a tourist and leisure centre in the castle, taking into account the protection of cultural heritage.

Zamek w Unisławiu na ziemi chełmińskiej był do niedawna jedną z najsłabiej rozpoznanych warowni krzyżackich. Nie była znana jego forma, a źródła historyczne dostarczały jedynie przesłanek do jego chronologii. Przeprowadzone w 2017 r. badania archeologiczno-architektoniczne skupione były na terenie zamku wysokiego, ale towarzyszące im obserwacje pozwoliły także na określenie układu budowli: na trójczłonową warownię składały się zamek wysoki i dwa przedzamcza. Badania wykazały, że zamek murowany wzniesiono na miejscu komturskiej warowni drewniano-ziemnej, a inwestycję tę łączyć należy z rezydującymi od 2. ćw. XIV w. w Unisławiu prokuratorami. Głównym elementem zamku wysokiego był masywny dom wieżowy, osłonięty od strony przedzamcza murem obronnym. Na przełomie XIV i XV w. zamek został rozbudowany – dodano nowe budynki, w tym bramny. Badania dostarczyły także podstaw do rekonstrukcji szczegółów techniki budowy zamku. Kres funkcjonowania warowni przyniosła wojna trzynastoletnia (1454-1466).

The castle in Unisław on Chełmno Land has until recently been one of the least-known Teutonic strongholds. Its form was unascertained, and historical sources provided only some premises for its chronology. The archaeological and architectural research carried out in 2017 focused on the area of the high castle, but the accompanying observations also enabled to determine the layout of the structure: the three-part stronghold consisted of a high castle and two wards. The research has shown that the brick castle was erected on the site of the wooden and earthen commandery stronghold, and this investment should be connected with the prosecutors residing in Unisław from the 2nd quarter of the 14th century. The main part of the high castle was a massive tower house, shielded from the side of the ward with a defensive wall. At the turn of the 15th century, the castle was extended – new buildings were added, including gates. The research also provided the basis for the reconstruction of the details of castle construction techniques. The stronghold was captured and destroyed during the Thirteen Years’ War (1454-1466).

The excavations of the castle in Sztum carried out in 2021 were a continuation of the works from 2019. First, however, in 2020, GPR survey was carried out, the results of which made it possible to clarify the location of the planned trenches and raised new research questions. In the course of the excavations, the knowledge about the spatial arrangement of the buildings studied so far was supplemented, and objects not covered by the works to date were identified. In test trench No. 17 was positively verified the anomaly, interpreted as an alleged partition wall of the great masters’ house, which allowed for a more complete reconstruction of the interior layout of this building. In trench No. 14, the northern range of the eastern gate building was captured, which, as it turned out, was similar in size to the western gate. The interior of the building was lowered in relation to the surrounding area, and there was a drawbridge trapdoor under the gate opening. Therefore, communication in the interior took place on a wooden bridge. Remains of economic buildings were unearthed in trenches Nos. 15 and 16. In the Middle Ages, there were stables and the mayor’s coach house here. The post-medieval stables were much larger than the previous ones. Their walls were made in timber-framed construction and based on a foundation of stones without mortar. In trench No. 20, a rich stratigraphy was identified at the northern wall, separating several sequences of layers of construction embankments. In trenches Nos. 18 and 19, the dimensions of the post-medieval western house were captured and the technique of its foundation was recognized. At the western gate, a previously unknown castle house was identified, which can be interpreted as gemach of the great commander. In trenches Nos. 21 and 22 marked out in the southern part of the courtyard, and with the help of the axis of the boreholes, the location and layout of the office from the 16th century was identified. It was a timber-framed building, built on solid and deeply set point foundations. In trench No. 21, a layer with Bronze Age pottery was also found under the humus from before the construction of the castle. In trench No. 23, located at the western wall of the moat, the chronological relation of this structure to the town wall was recognized. It turned out that the western wall of the moat was slightly shifted to the east in relation to the present structure. The negatives and a small destruct have survived, but based on the stratigraphy analysis, it can be concluded that the town wall was added to the perimeter of the moat at a later stage of construction. The conducted research made it possible to supplement the knowledge about the spatial arrangement and transformations of the castle. It was an object that stood out among the castle architecture of Prussia - on a daily basis the seat of the mayor, but evidently built with a residential function for great masters in mind.

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie podstaw źródłowych oraz badawczych, na bazie których opracowano wirtualną rekonstrukcję zamku w Prudniku z przełomu czasów średniowiecza i wczesnej nowożytności. Powstały model jest wzorcem do stworzenia makiety. Ma ona dać wyobrażenie o całości zabudowań zamkowych, z których do dziś przetrwała tylko wieża. W rozważaniach prowadzących do odtworzenia przestrzennej formy architektonicznej autorki korzystają przede wszystkim z najstarszego znanego źródła ikonograficznego – rysunku Friedricha Bernharda Wernera ukazującego zamek od strony północnego wschodu. Istotne w odtworzeniu wizerunku obiektu były także wyniki badań wykopaliskowych przeprowadzonych na terenie nieistniejących zabudowań. Zachowana wieża zamkowa pozwoliła przybliżyć pionowy wymiar założenia. W artykule omówiono także historię i lokalizację obiektu.

The purpose of the article was to show the source and research basics, upon which the virtual reconstruction of Prudnik’s castle, from the turn of Middle Ages and early modern age, was based. The design can be used as a base for a model, which presents the full scope of the castle’s buildings, from which only the tower still exists. To restore the architectural, spatial form, the authors used primarily the oldest, known iconographic source – Friedrich Bernhard Wernher’s drawing, showing the castle from the north-eastern side. Restoration of the image was also possible due to excavation research, which took place on the site of the no longer existing buildings. In addition, the preserved tower helped to estimate the vertical dimension of the object. The history and location of the castle in Prudnik was also covered in the article.

W artykule przedstawione zostały najważniejsze wyniki badań siedziby pańskiej w Chudowie koło Gliwic (Górny Śląsk), prowadzonych na tym obiekcie od 2001 r. (przede wszystkim w związku z realizowaną w tym czasie częściową rekonstrukcją wczesnonowożytnego zamku i adaptacją jego wieży na cele muzealne). Wykonywane równolegle kwerendy archiwalne, obserwacje architektoniczne, a zwłaszcza prace archeologiczne pozwoliły na rozpoznanie m.in. pozostałości poprzedzającej zamek murowany, a nieznanej wcześniej, XV-wiecznej siedziby rodziny Chudowskich (formalnie wpisującej się w horyzont późnośredniowiecznych założeń typu motte). W tekście przedstawiono ustalenia na temat planu, konstrukcji oraz podstaw datowania tego obiektu, jego funkcjonowania i destrukcji. Omówiono również wyniki badań w kwestii czasu budowy kamienno-ceglanego zamku wiązanego z działalnością Jana Gierałtowskiego. Przedstawiono wcześniejsze koncepcje na temat kształtu i datowania tego założenia, które zweryfikowano w oparciu o rezultaty ostatnich prac archeologicznych. Szczegółowej analizie poddano także zamkową wieżę, której stan zachowania umożliwił określenie jej pierwotnej formy (z czasu jej realizacji około połowy XVI w.) i funkcji. Przedstawione w tekście informacje pozwoliły na ukazanie rozwoju siedziby obronnej w Chudowie w okresie od jej powstania w połowie XV stulecia – kiedy to funkcjonowała w postaci drewnianej wieży otoczonej palisadą – do końca wieku XVI – kiedy zrealizowane zostało renesansowe założenie (otoczone fosą), w którego skład wchodziła kamienno-ceglana wieża i trzy budynki wzniesione wokół niewielkiego centralnego dziedzińca.

The article presents the main results of research of the noble’s seat in Chudów near Gliwice (Upper Silesia), that was conducted since 2001 (mainly in connection with the partial reconstruction of the early-modern castle and the adaptation of its tower for museum purposes). Archival queries, architectural observations, and – in particular – archaeological works, carried out in parallel, have resulted with the discovery of remains of – preceding the stone and brick castle – previously unknown 15th-century seat of the Chudowski family (formally placed in the horizon of late mediaeval residences of motte type). The text presents conclusions about its plan, structure and bases for chronology of construction, functioning and destruction of this object. The article also discusses the results of research in the topic of the origins of the stone and brick castle, associated with the activities of Jan Gierałtowski. It presents earlier concepts of the plan and chronology of it and verifies them basing on the results of recent archaeological works. A detailed analysis was also made of the castle tower, whose state of preservation made it possible to determine its original form (from the time when it was built around the middle of the 16th century) and its function. The data presented in the text allowed showing the development of the private residence in Chudów from its origins in the mid-15th century – when it functioned as a wooden tower surrounded by a palisade – until the end of the 16th century – when the early-modern castle (surrounded by a moat) was completed composed of a stone and brick tower and three buildings constructed around a small central courtyard.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań architektonicznych zamku Grodno przeprowadzonych przez autorkę w latach 2017-2019, przy współpracy Radosława Biela, oraz kwerendy publikowanych źródeł pisanych przygotowanej przez Agnieszkę Gryglewską. Rzucają one nowe światło na chronologię przeobrażeń zabudowy górnego zamku w okresie od końca XIII do około połowy XVI w. Inaczej niż dotychczas sądzono, ukształtowała się wówczas bryła zamku górnego, złożona z trzech skrzydeł zabudowy o wysokości 3-4 kondygnacji, co przypisywano dotąd działaniom budowlanym podejmowanym w dobie nowożytnej. Średniowieczną metrykę przypisano także do obwodu basztowego średniego zamku i dolnej części muru osłaniającego międzymurze. W wyniku przeprowadzonych studiów i badań terenowych stwierdzono, że działania budowlane podejmowane w średniowieczu na górnym zamku można pogrupować w trzech fazach zaistniałych ok. 1300 r., ok. 1350 i ok. 1500 r. W pierwszej fazie powstał wysoki mur obwodowy z blankowaniem i hurdycją nadwieszoną nad bramą wjazdową do zamku i odcinkiem muru południowego od strony skalnego zbocza i traktu drożnego biegnącego doliną rzeki Bystrzycy. Mur wspinał się po skalnym zboczu, osiągając kulminację po stronie wschodniej. Tam, w najwyższym punkcie wyniesienia formował kwadratową w planie basztę, o tej samej wysokości co przyległe jego odcinki. Stwierdzenie tego faktu każe wiązać zamek Grodno z typem tzw. zamków płaszczowych, stosunkowo rzadkich na Śląsku, lecz licznych na terenie Czech. Mur opasywał obszerny dziedziniec i skałę, na której zbudowano książęcy dom. Wjazd do zamku prowadził od południowego zachodu przez wysoką, ostrołuczną arkadę bramną zabezpieczoną broną. Około połowy XIV w. do wewnętrznej strony muru obronnego został dobudowany długi, dwuskrzydłowy dom. Miał on dwie kondygnacje i sięgał do połowy wysokości obecnego I piętra zamku. Od wschodu skrzydło południowe dobijało do skały, na której wznosił się najstarszy budynek zamkowy. Ostatnia średniowieczna rozbudowa nastąpiła zapewne w początkach XVI w., w związku z uzyskaniem przez właścicieli zamku przywileju królewskiego i lukratywnej komory celnej w Jedlince. W jej efekcie dwukondygnacyjny, kamienny dom został przekształcony w czterokondygnacyjny dom kamienno-ceglany, choć część jego wewnętrznych podziałów i izby nad kuchnią pozostały wykonane w drewnie. Piętra podwyższonego domu „weszły na skałę”, na której wcześniej stał dom z I fazy, i zostały zamknięte od północy grubą, kamienną ścianą. Jeszcze dalej na północ znajdowała się murowana kuchnia. Najważniejszym pomieszczeniem domu była potężna, dwukondygnacyjna aula zajmująca na poziomie II piętra całą środkową część skrzydła południowego. Tym samym po raz kolejny okazało się, że zakres prac budowlanych, jakie prowadzono na zamku w średniowieczu, i jego bryła były znacznie bardziej rozległe, niż początkowo przypuszczano.

The aim of the article is to present the results of the architectural research on Grodno Castle which was carried out by the author in the years 2017-2019 in cooperation with Radosław Biel and a query of published written sources by Agnieszka Gryglewska. They shed new light on the chronology of transformations in the structures of the upper castle in the period from the end of the $13^{th}$ to around the mid-$16^{th}$ century. Contrary to what has been previously thought, the shape of the upper castle consisting of three wings of buildings with a height of 3-4 storeys was formed in a different way at that time. This was previously attributed to construction actions undertaken in the early modern age. The late-medieval origin also refers to the tower perimeter of the middle castle and the lower part of the wall protecting the zwinger. As a result of the conducted studies and field research, construction actions which were undertaken in the Middle Ages in the upper castle, can be grouped into three phases that occurred in around 1300, 1350 and 1500. In phase 1, a high perimeter wall with battlements and a hoarding overhanging the entrance gate to the castle and a section of the southern wall from the rocky slope and the road running along the River Bystrzyca Valley, were constructed. The wall climbed a rocky slope, culminating on the eastern side. There, at the highest point of the hill, it formed a square tower in plan with the same height as its adjacent sections. This fact makes us connect Grodno Castle with the type of the so-called coat castles, relatively rare in Silesia, but numerous in the territory of Bohemia. The wall surrounded a large courtyard and the rock on which the princely house was built. The entrance to the castle led from the south-west through a high ogival gate arcade secured with a portcullis. In around the mid-$14^{th}$ century, a long two-winged house was added to the inner side of the defensive wall. It had two storeys and reached half the height of the present 2nd storey of the castle. From the east, the southern wing reached the rock on which the oldest castle building was built. The last medieval extension probably took place at the beginning of the $16^{th}$ century, due to the fact that the Czetryc family obtained a royal privilege in 1502 and a lucrative customs house in Jedlinka. As a result, the two-storey stone house was transformed into a four-storey stone and brick house, although some of its internal divisions and the rooms above the kitchen were made of wood. The storeys of the heightened house "climbed onto the rock" on which the house from phase 1 previously stood and were closed from the north with a thick stone wall. Even further to the north there was a brick kitchen. The most important room in the house was a magnificent two-storey hall which occupied the entire central part of the southern wing on the $3^{rd}$ storey. Thus, it turned out once again that the scope of construction works which were carried out in the castle in the Middle Ages and the size of its body turned out to be larger than originally assumed.

The article addresses the notion of three categories of metaphors generated by the image of a castle in the selected works of the 19th-century literature of France, Belgium and Poland.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the most famous example of a successful symbiosis between Gothicism and balkanism. With this symbiosis, Irish author refreshes and popularizes the vampire myth and enriches it with the myth of  Transylvania as a homeland of vampirism. Stoker tries to make the image of Transylvania as authentic as possible, but at the same time, he mystifies some facts. He creates Transylvania in accordance with balkanistic stereotype as a beautiful, but backward land. European culture is mingled there with the oriental culture. Count Dracula’s vampirism is a horrible effect of this cultural hybridization. According to psychoanalytic interpretation, the castle o fa vampire symbolizes the unconsciousness of Westerners, and the vampire is their double. Dracula embodies their repressed ideas related to the desire of absolute power which enables to satisfy the instincts freely. The balkanistic context of psychoanalytic interpretation of Dracula’s castle allows the extension of this interpretation to the entire Transylvania, which in Stoker’s novel is a metonymy of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. This region of Europe was in the 19th century regarded in the West as the boundary between Europe and Asia, and it serves as a locus horridus, that is to say, a bad place which is a reservoir of culturally forbidden desires that Westerners repress by attributing them to the Eastern European culture.
