The Royal Castle in Nowy Sącz is now a picturesque ruin located in a place of exceptional landscape value – on a slope at the mouth of the Kamienica River into the Dunajec River. Built by Casimir the Great in the 14th century, it was once an important administrative and defensive point, visited by kings, including Jadwiga of Anjou and Władysław Jagiełło. Today, you can see the reconstructed Kowalska Tower and fragments of the old walls, and the entire area serves as a city park.

The Royal Castle in Nowy Sącz - a building erected by King Casimir the Great in the years 1350–1360 on the slope within the city fortifications of Nowy Sącz, at the fork of two rivers: Dunajec and Kamienica. In the past, the castle had two corner towers, a tower, a residential building and an outer bailey. The remains of the perimeter walls and the reconstructed Smith Tower have survived to this day. Currently, there is a municipal park in the castle ruins.

In 1945, several soldiers of the Peasant Battalions under the command of Tadeusz Dymel blew up a German ammunition warehouse stored in the castle, as a result of which the monument was almost completely destroyed.
