Ogrodzieniec Castle

Local name: Zamek Ogrodzieniec

The Ogrodzieniec Castle, despite the fact that it is only ruins, is the largest and most beautiful castle of the Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska, belonging to the trail of the Eagles' Nests. From the extensive outer bailey you can admire the remains of the stable and coach house, the gate tower and a fragment of the moat as well as the high stone walls surround the beautiful courtyard.

From the south of the castle, the Kurzą Foot was added - a building with casemates with shooting ranges and a ballroom. Renaissance lily frescoes have survived on the lowest floors of Kurza Feet. In the west wing, a tower with machiculas waits for visitors, from the top of which there is a view of the surrounding panorama. You can also visit the underground chambers, next to which is a doll museum.

The history of this Gothic knight's castle that witnessed the Swedish Deluge dates back to the fourteenth century.

In the period from November to April, the service does not guarantee opening the facility in case of bad weather conditions (snow, ice, heavy rainfall, thick fog).
