This castle was built during the reign of Casimir the Great in the 14th century as a watchtower. Over the centuries, it passed through various hands, for example, in the 17th century, it was owned by magnates. Currently, it houses a branch of the Wawel Royal Castle Museum. Tours are available for a fee.

At least the parking meters in the valley here accept debit cards. That wasn't the case everywhere. The castle itself is unspectacular; apart from the views of the valley, only the entrance gate is impressive. The tower itself offers almost no views, just a continuous loop of films with beautiful aerial shots.

The castle in Ojców is one of the most interesting ruins on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, located on Castle Hill in the Ojców National Park. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and served as a royal guardhouse. The characteristic defensive tower, entrance gate and fragments of walls, which have undergone conservation work in recent years, have survived to this day. Currently, you can visit not only the courtyard, but also the interior of the tower and the new viewing platform with a panorama of the Prądnik Valley.

View of the magnificent Krakow Gate and nearby rocks to the west, and on the other side (east) the Crown Mountain, Glove and Ciemna Caves. A wonderful place in the Prądnik Valley. You are also at the Spring of Love (well, you're lucky!) - a karst spring. The water flowing out of it falls into a reservoir carved in the shape of a heart. There is a bench next to it, so your legs can rest too.
