Introducing Niedzica

Show mapClose map

Niedzica, 5km northwest of Sromowce Wyżne-Kąty, is known for its castle. Perched on a rocky hill above the southeastern end of Lake Czorsztyn, the castle was built in the first half of the 14th century as one of the Hungarian border strongholds and was extended in 1601. It remained in private Hungarian hands until the end of WWII. It was partially restored in the 1920s and again 50 years later, but it essentially looks the same as it did in the 17th century, managing to retain its graceful Renaissance shape.
