Rabsztyn Castle is a preserved Gothic ruined castle located in the Polish Jura within the Eagles' Nests Trail, in the village of Rabsztyn, Lesser Poland Voivodeship in southern Poland.[1]

The etymology of Rabsztyn Castle derives from the German Rabenstein, translating to Raven's Rock.[2]

Having undergone extensive reconstruction, since May 2015, the castle has been opened to tourists.[3]
