Ruins of King Casimir the Great's castle (14th century). Today, the remaining fortifications, some residential quarters, a tower, and an entrance gate remain.

The castle also offers beautiful views of the Prądnik Valley, with Chełmowa Góra to the south.

Tickets are required to enter.

Update: Admission now costs 18 zloty and 9 zloty for children. (As of 2021)
That's a price increase of 450% in just two years.

However, some renovations have been carried out in the meantime, and visitor safety has been improved. A steel staircase to the keep was added, and an ugly, steel viewing platform was built.

In return, all you get to see is the keep, the entrance gate, and the deep well. I repeat: The castle looks more impressive from the outside than from the inside.

The castle is more imposing from the outside than from them. The entrance fee is only 4 zloty. The castle was built in the second half of the 14th century by Kazimierz the Great.
