Castle complex

Located on an escarpment above the city, the royal castle was built in the 14th century by Casimir the Great, in the most inaccessible place in the strip of city fortifications. The castle had the character of an extensive royal residence, although it was used only temporarily. This is evidenced by a spacious courtyard and a large residential building.

    The feeling is amazing how from a rural landscape you suddenly enter the mighty walls of Szydlovsk. We walked around the old cobblestones for half a day, time seems to have stopped there. VisitWe had a blast at the museum. It was fun
