Dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, Kazimierz Dolny Castle is a Romanesque castle ruin. There's not much to see there. But you have a great view of the Vistula.

The castle in Kazimierz Dolny is a complex of defensive fortifications from the 13th and 14th centuries, located on Castle Hill. The castle consists of two main parts: the upper castle (also known as the "Baszta" or Łokietek's Tower) and the lower castle.

The upper castle is a defensive bergfried tower from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, erected at the height of the Vistula River crossing. The tower, with a height of up to 20 meters, originally served as a guardhouse, providing control over the crossing and the collection of customs duties. In later years, it served as a navigation beacon. The entrance to the tower is located six meters above ground level, and its lower storey housed a dungeon.

The lower castle was built on the orders of Casimir the Great in the 1340s and was part of a larger defensive complex. Initially built in the Gothic style, built of limestone, it had thick walls and wooden internal buildings. In the 15th century, during the time of the Grot family, the castle was expanded, including a two-storey residential wing and a defensive tower. In the 16th century, the castle underwent another reconstruction in the Renaissance style, thanks to the Firlej family, who added an attic and built the southern wing.

During the Swedish Deluge (1655) and a fire in 1663, the castle was seriously damaged. In the 18th century, during the reign of August II the Strong, plans for reconstruction in the palace style were not realized due to the civil war. As a result of further destruction and destruction by the Austrian authorities in 1806, the castle fell into ruin.

The castle witnessed historical events, including the Battle of Kazimierz Dolny in 1831 during the November Uprising. In the years 1958-1960, archaeological research was carried out, and the castle was secured and made available to tourists. Today, it is a tourist attraction, preserving the form of a permanent ruin.
