Uniejów Castle is one of the city's most important attractions, picturesquely situated on the left bank of the Warta River. Built between 1360 and 1365 at the initiative of Archbishop Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki, it replaced an earlier wooden stronghold. For centuries, it served defensive, administrative, and residential functions, and after renovations, it gained Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is surrounded by a romantic landscape park with rare trees, perfect for strolling.
