    The ruins of Świecie Castle (German Burg Schwerta, 1937–1945: Schwertburg) are located in the village of Świecie (Schwerta), which since 1945 has belonged to the town and country municipality of Leśna (Marklissa) in the Lubański powiat in Poland, about five kilometers to the south from Leśna on a gneiss rock.
