Weak. Not worth it. Nothing special. With three bare walls. A meeting place for nearby youth. Everything overgrown with grass. In my opinion, a waste of time.
22.08.2013We stopped there on the way. The castle itself is small , just 5 minutes to walk around it from all sides. My attention was more drawn to the children's playground, which was locatedu is located next to the castle and we spent longer there.
07.08.2010While visiting the place, I just happened to come across the demolition of a stage after some event that took place against the backdrop of the ruins, so I had to squeeze through all sorts of "rigging". The ruins themselves look very interesting in the sunlight. Everything can only be viewed from ground level, there are no stairs to any floors, unless one likes to climb the walls.
26.03.2010The ruins of the Bodzentyn castle are located on a steep bank of the Psarka River. Since the beginning of its history, the castle was often expanded by successive owners - the bishops of krakowski, but the walls of the original medieval building are still visible today. The castle used to be a large residence, which also included an Italian garden extending to the grounds of a nearby church, a game preserve and a dozen or so outbuildings in the pre-castle area, including a bakery, slaughterhouse, barns, carriage house, warehouses and a wooden mansion, inhabited by the owners during the castle's numerous reconstructions and renovations. In its heyday, the castle itself consisted of three wings with a courtyard in the center, and also had one corner tower used as a prison. The whole thing was surrounded by a wall. Nowadays, what remains are high walls with window openings (some with frames showing the Ślepowron and Nałęcz coats of arms) and a 17th-century portal made of red sandstone. In front of the portal lie the remains of a stone bridge. Downstream, the Psarka River creates several small backwaters called ponds, a path and wooden bridges lead there, which is also worth seeing.
