  1. Ogrodzieniec Castle

    Claiming prime position on the highest hill of the upland (504m), the ruins of Ogrodzieniec Castle look like they belong in a medieval-style fairytale. Incorporating natural rock in its foundations and parts of the walls, the fortress was built during the reign of King Kazimierz III Wielki but enlarged in the mid-16th century by its owner, Seweryn Boner, a wealthy banker from Kraków. Boner employed Italian masters from the royal court to remodel the castle into a Renaissance residence. After exploring the nooks and crannies of this enormous complex, it’s easy to believe reports that the castle was once as splendid as Wawel.
