Kalsmunt means bare mountain. Nowadays the mountain is forested. All that remains is the tower, a gate and remains of the wall.
The Kalsmunt Tower is the keep of the former imperial castle of Kalsmunt, which was built around 1100.
The tower is closed due to vandalism and can only be visited with a booked tour.
