Ogrodzieniec Castle

Ogrodzieniec Castle in Podzamcze near Zawiercie is the most famous “eagle's nest” – an unassailable stronghold built on the limestone outcrops of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, on Janowski Hill. In the 16th century the Boner family gave it the form of a Gothic-Renaissance residence; it later belonged to the Firlej family and Stanisław Warszycki, among others. In the 19th century the castle was abandoned and fell into ruin.

We prepared an audio guide that leads from the outer bailey and the gate through the castle kitchen, the High Castle, Boner's bedroom, the library, the dining room and the Dresser Tower, the Hen's Foot, the service courtyard, the bastion and the Condemned Men's Tower, all the way to the treasury and the powder magazine.

The recordings are available in Polish and English.
