      Lipowiec Castle is a picturesque medieval castle ruin situated on a limestone hill within the Lipowiec Nature Reserve, near the villages of Wygiełzów and Babice, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Located in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, it once served as a castle for the Kraków bishops and a prison.

        Visiting the Ruins: The castle is open to the public, and tourists can see, among other things, the walled-up prison cells.

        Tower: The castle's distinctive feature is the towering, nearly 30-meter-tall tower, which can be climbed to admire the views of the surrounding area. Access to the top via a narrow, winding staircase and ladder is an additional attraction.

        Vistula Ethnographic Park: The castle ruins are part of a museum complex, along with the adjacent open-air museum, where visitors can see examples of the region's traditional wooden architecture, including a 17th-century church.

        Events: The castle and the open-air museum frequently host outdoor events, such as history weekends, rallies, and concerts.
