OJCÓW CASTLE
This picturesque stone castle was built by Casimir the Great in the 14th century, probably on the site of a former 13th-century fortress, which is said to have served as a refuge for his father, Władysław Łokietek during the struggles for the Krakow throne. To honor his father's memory, Casimir named the castle "Ojców", a name derived from the word father: ojciec. Destroyed and looted during the Swedish invasion, it subsequently had several owners. The ruins stand on a rocky spur that dominates the surrounding countryside.
