Koznik Castle is a medieval castle in central Serbia, 10 km northwest from the town of Aleksandrovac, on a hillside of Kopaonik, on the right bank in the upper flow of the Rasina river. The castle was built on top of a steep hill dominating the surrounding terrain at 920 m altitude.
== History == The castle was mentioned for the first time in a decree of Prince Lazar. In the early 15th century, Koznik belonged to Grand Čelnik Radič, one of the most important knights at that time. Lazar's widow, Princess Milica spent some time there, in 1402, while their son, despot Stefan Lazarević, made two decrees in Koznik in 1405, granting Radič Postupović all surrounding villages and the church on the river Grabovničica.
