Royal Castle

The Royal Castle in Chęciny was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries on a hill (360 meters above sea level) as an upland-type fortress. King Wladyslaw Jagiello took advantage of its peculiar location and chose it as a place for court judgments and inquisitions of the nobility. In 1331, prior to his expedition to Plowce, the king appointed his son Casimir here as the ruler of Greater Poland.

During the day, in&nbsp;a completely new splendor thanks to a major renovation carried out recently, wandering around the fortress we meet a power of attractions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Crossing the gate of the fortress we are transported back in time. The castle crew welcomes all&nbsp;incoming guests in&nbsp;historical costumes. A medieval dance is enticed by Team Ferro Aquilae. The clanking of swords and&nbsp;loud rumble can be heard in the background. It&nbsp;s knightly battles and arrows from&nbsp;hooks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In&nbsp;the courtyard of the lower castle, the armorer is solidly making knightly armor. Could it be that the castle is preparing for a siege? Nearby, a cage of disgrace awaiting convicts&nbsp;and just behind it, stately dykes. And&nbsp;in&nbsp;the dungeon? Once upon a time a prisoner was chained to the&nbsp;walls.... And in the treasury shines gold and&nbsp;silver, while coins spill out of the chests.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A century-old castle, but it is teeming with life!</p> <p>We invite you to a wonderful history lesson at the Kr&nbsp;lewski Castle in Chęciny!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The castle is open all year round.

    The castle because of its location worth seeing. Great view from the tower!

    Admittedly it was raining a bit when I was there but interesting place. The view from the tower is great. I recommend this place to visit as much as possible.

    A great attraction, highly recommended. I have been twice before. The entrance to the tower is quite winding and it is hard to pass someone who is just going down.
