The castle in Olsztyn near Częstochowa is one of the most characteristic landmarks on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. The ruins of a medieval fortress rise on a limestone hill, from where there is a wide panorama of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The castle once played an important defensive role on the borders of the Kingdom of Poland, and today it attracts history and photography enthusiasts. It is worth taking shoes with good soles - the ascent to the hill is short, but steep and rocky. It is best to leave your bike at the entrance or in the city.

The first mention of Olsztyn Castle, then identified as Przemiłowice Castle, dates back to 1306 and was included in the records of the second trial of the Bishop of Kraków, Jan Muskata, brought against him in 1306 by the Archbishop of Gniezno, Jakub Świnka. For this reason, the 700th anniversary of Olsztyn Castle was celebrated in 2006. It is known that the castle existed earlier, however, and the above-mentioned records refer to events from 1294. The 13th-century origins of the castle were confirmed by research conducted in the 2010s. pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_in_Olsztyn_(voivodeship)
