From here you have a beautiful view of the castle.

History:
Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz built the Villa Baszta between 1928 and 1929 on the Przegorzały Rock, which had previously been acquired from the Camaldolese monastery. The villa was confiscated by the German occupiers in 1940 and moved into by the district governor Otto Wächter. Wächter also had Szyszko-Bohusz design the Wartenberg Castle, which was built next to the villa between 1942 and 1943, but was moved to Lviv in 1942 before it was completed and the building was initially empty. Governor General Hans Frank gave the castle as a gift to Heinrich Himmler during his visit to Krakow in 1943, who intended it to be a sanatorium for the SS and Luftwaffe officers. The castle was to be connected to the Vistula Valley by a cable car, but this was not realized. The castle was used as a military hospital at the end of 1944. On January 18, 1945, it was occupied by the Red Army. The building is currently used by the Jagiellonian University. The lower floors are leased to catering establishments (restaurants, cafes).
