KRZYŻTOPÓR CASTLE
Read moreIn 1587, Jan Zbigniew Ossoliński, a powerful Polish nobleman, gave the Ujazd estate to his son Krzysztof as a wedding present. The latter decided to build the most beautiful fortified residence in Poland. Today, all that remains of this beautiful star-shaped palace, built in the early 17th century, are majestic ruins testifying to its lost grandeur. The site remains quite interesting, all the more so as it is possible to camp directly around the castle and also build a fire to liven up the evening.

The original system consisted of four gates along the roads leading to the cities of Opatów, Zawichost, Lublin and Kraków. They were integrated into a system of two revolving gates, as well as 21 defensive towers. Today, the Opatówska Gate marks the entrance to the Old Town and the Rynek. You can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy the view.
