Kamieniec Castle in Odrzykoń

Ruins of a Gothic castle from the 14th century, expanded in the Renaissance style, located on the border of Korczyna and Odrzykoń, amid the nature of the Czarnorzeki-Strzyżów Landscape Park.

Location and surroundings

The castle lies on the border of Korczyna and Odrzykoń in the Krosno district, on a rocky elevation in the Czarnorzeki-Strzyżów Landscape Park.

History

The first mention of the castle in Odrzykoń dates back to 1348. In 1396 the knight Klemens of Moskorzew received the castle for his merits in the defence of Vilnius and built the upper castle and the eastern outer bailey. From 1407 the family adopted the name Kamieniecki. The stronghold flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries. The castle declined as a result of the wars of the 17th century - first Swedish destruction, then Rákóczi's troops.

What to see

The castle ruins with the Castle Museum, a Torture Chamber and a ceramics workshop. The site is associated with a dispute over a boundary wall, which inspired Aleksander Fredro's "The Revenge" (Zemsta).
