The stronghold in Pieskowa Skała was established to protect an important trade route from Silesia to Kraków, probably at the beginning of the 14th century. For hundreds of years of existence, it has undergone numerous damages and reconstructions. It was not restored until the 20th century and turned into a truly royal palace. The architecture of the castle can be described as a combination of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
