Esterka Schloss

Ruins of a defensive castle in the Gothic style, probably built by the Firlej family around the mid-fourteenth century. Not much has survived to modern times - two large fragments of walls. However, it is planned to restore the ruins combined with their illumination and the opening of a viewing point. However, the castle is to remain a permanent ruin. On the road leading to it there is also a monument in honor of the victims of the so-called "Bloody Wednesday" from 1942.

According to a local legend, the castle was to be built on the orders of Casimir the Great, who made unofficial trips from nearby Kazimierz Dolny to meet his Jewish mistress Esther. Historical facts, however, do not confirm this version of events.

At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the castle was inhabited by robbers, who robbed the local population and merchants passing by. Later, the fortress was in the hands of the Samborski family, who, however, left it in the first half of the 17th century. Since then, the castle has been deteriorating.
