Information

Ojców castle ruins belong to the Eagles’ Nests fortifications. They are located on the Castle Summit in the Ojców National Park in Kraków-Czestochowa Jurassic Region. In the early Iron Age, there was a Lusatian settlement on the site of the castle, presumably destroyed by the Scythian invasion. The castle was erected at the order of the king Casimir the Great in the second half of the 14th century. Nowadays, only the octagonal tower, the gate and the lower parts of the perimeter walls have survived. Ojców Castle is maintained and owned by Ojców National Park. The castle buildings are available for tourists all year long: a room with a small historical exhibition in the gate tower room, the castle square with a well and the hill in front of the defensive tower, the defensive tower and the viewing platform.
