Chojnik Castle Live Cam

Chojnik Castle, also known as Kynast or Chojnik Castle, is a medieval fortress located in the Karkonosze Mountains (Giant Mountains) of southwestern Poland. It is situated near the town of Sobieszów, which is now a part of Jelenia Góra. The castle is perched atop a rocky hill at an elevation of around 627 meters (2,057 feet) above sea level, providing it with a strategic vantage point and impressive views of the surrounding landscape.

The history of Chojnik Castle dates back to the 14th century. It was constructed by the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV as part of a defensive network guarding the trade routes and borders of his kingdom. The castle's location on a rocky hill made it a formidable defensive structure.
