Information

Chęciny are located in St.Cross Mountains area. Chęciny town is located about 15 km from Kielce. The castle was built at the turning of 13th and 14th century still, from 17th century it is only a ruin. The castle ruins have irregular shape and predominate over surrounding town as they are situated at the top of the hill (360 m above sea level). From the castle we can admire magnificent views to the surrounding hills and from 20 m high tower, on sunny days, even summits of the Tatra Mountains can be seen. The castle doesn’t have any particularly interesting exhibition but nonetheless, the ruins are visited by numerous tourists especially during summer months. In the area there is also one more curiosity. The rock which is called świętokrzyski marble is mined in the castle vicinity so, such specimens of rock are common souvenirs from the Chęciny.
