Pieskowa Skała

A branch of the Wawel Royal Castle.

The castle is situated in the heart of the Ojców National Park, about 30 km northeast of Cracow. The fortress and a nearby rock formation called the Club of Hercules dominate the picturesque landscape of the Prądnik River Valley. Pieskowa Skała is exceptional not only for the beauty of its natural setting, but also for its outstanding architecture and fascinating history. The stronghold was built during the reign of Casimir the Great (r. 1333–1370) to safeguard the route between Cracow and Silesia. At the end of the 14th century, the castle passed into the hands of the Szafraniec family in the late 16th century Stanisław Szafraniec renovated and expanded it to create an impressive Renaissance residence with an arcaded courtyard and pillared loggia. The work was completed in about 1578. In the 17th century, the castle’s new owner, Michał Zebrzydowski, added a bastion to the fortifications, closing off the large exterior court. Today the castle is a museum, which houses a collection of European art.

Manor House at Stryszow

A branch of the Wawel Royal Castle.

Located at the foot of Mount Chełm in the Beskid Makowski mountain range near Wadowice and Kalwaria Zebrzyowska, the manor house at Stryszów is one of the most interesting and unique examples of manorial architecture to survive in this region. Built at the end of the 16th century and remodeled in the mid-18th century, the manor is an example of a modest country residence of the Polish gentry. Since 1969, the manor has been a museum featuring 19th-century period interiors.
