The castle in Łodygowicach is located in the surroundings of a park on the river Żylica. Built in the 17th century by the castellan of Kraków, Jerzy Zbaraski. Previously, a wooden manor house of the Komorowski family, who owned the surrounding area from the mid-16th century, stood in its place. Over the next years, the castle changed both its owners and appearance many times. Originally it was a defensive castle, surrounded by an earthen rampart, a moat and bastions in the corners, which made it a fortress difficult to get. In 1866. the castle was purchased by Klementyna Primovesi de Weber, wife of Adolf Klobus, an Austrian major. They thoroughly rebuilt the fortress for their own needs. As a result of the reconstruction, the castle lost its military significance, and part of the fortifications was pulled down. The Klobus family owned Łodygowice with its adjoining areas until the death of the last descendant of Otto Klobus in 1942. In 1939, the staff of the German army was stationed in the castle, and in 1945 the castle's equipment was stolen. Currently, the castle building has been converted into a cultural institution.
The castle has a neo-gothic style. In the park surrounding the castle, you can still come across the still visible old fortifications, i.e. the remains of earth bastions, embankments and moats. The castle has two storeys. The entrance to the castle leads through arcades with a balcony above them.

The fortifications that 🅆🄸🅃⭕ 🇵🇱 writes about are particularly clearly visible on the north-eastern side of the park surrounding the palace, where the outlines of two bastions and the curtain wall between them have been preserved. The western bastion is also quite well preserved, but the curtains adjoining it have been flattened.
