Udórz Castle – a relic of a medieval knight's castle in the Krakowsko-Częstochowska Jura, built in the so-called Eagle's Nests, on a hill called Zamczysko, above Udorka
STORY
Little is known about the building itself. It is believed that the founder of the castle could have been the heir to these lands, Iwo from Obiechów, Wieniawa's coat of arms, and the castle was supposed to be built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. The castle is not mentioned in a document from 1232 about the village. After 1581 the castle was supposed to pass from the hands of Mikołaj Długosz to the ownership of Andrzej Koryciński, and the only written traces of this are entries in the Pilica parish register from the late 18th century, which speak of “traces of” the ruins of the castle".
Surveys from 1987-1988 and 1990 showed embankments in the shape of an irregular pentagon, with no trace of buildings within the perimeter of the embankment, which may indicate that the fort was not completed. The fortifications on the east side were probably built earlier, during the Lusatian culture.
