The origins of defensive architecture in Podzamcze date back to the time of Bolesław III Wrymouth, when a defensive stronghold was built on the rocky hill of Birów Mountain, manned by a guard force to protect the border against incursions from Czech princes. Instead of this structure, destroyed during King Łokietek's struggle for the throne of Kraków, Casimir the Great built a Gothic castle on Janowski Hill in the mid-14th century. Władysław Jagiełło gifted it to Włodek of Charbinowice, of the Sulima coat of arms, in 1386. The stronghold changed hands several times, ending up in the hands of the Boner family in the first half of the 16th century, among the wealthiest and most influential in Poland at the time. At the initiative of Seweryn Boner, the castle was rebuilt between 1530 and 1545 into a magnificent Renaissance-style structure. The ambitious owners modeled their plans on Wawel Castle, ultimately furnishing one of the most magnificent residences in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with great splendor. After the Boner family's male line died out, the castle changed hands again many times. Unfortunately, the building also fell victim to invasions and disasters, which caused increasing damage. In 1587, Ogrodzieniec Castle was captured by the forces of Archduke Maximilian, a pretender to the Polish throne. In 1655, during the Deluge, Swedish troops stationed there caused a fire that destroyed a significant portion of the castle. In 1702, the building fell victim to another fire, also started by Swedish troops, this time stationed there during the Great Northern War. From then on, the castle declined, as the costs of reconstruction exceeded the capabilities of subsequent owners. In the early 19th century, the last residents abandoned the building, and its walls were dismantled and used as building materials. Since the early 20th century, a number of initiatives have been undertaken to preserve the picturesque ruins. They are now open to the public, and mass events are held there. The ruins have served as film locations several times, including for Andrzej Wajda's "The Knight," "Janosik," and "Revenge," as well as Netflix's "The Witcher."

There is a shameful collection of stalls along the route to the castle which unfortunately manages to destroy the atmosphere surrounding the castle.

The path to the castle is enough to ruin the beauty of the castle. Lots of shops selling rubbish and garish logos destroy the atmosphere.

A very complex castle ruin, which is still very accessible. A trip there is worthwhile.

A charming place on the Centuria River. You can cross the river with a dry foot here, even though the footbridge is not in the best condition.

For a ruin, the complex is quite well preserved. Several spiral staircases for access to the upper floor. Currently somewhat restricted due to construction work. The facility also includes a torture cellar (located a little next door).
