Ruins of Olsztyn Castle (Castle Hill)

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins are definitely worth a trip. Pictures cannot really reproduce the incredibly beautiful sight of this castle.
The best view of the castle is from the terrace of the Spichlerz restaurant
The entire castle hill can be viewed from 9 a.m. Entry costs 8 zlotys.
If you want to visit the viewing platform on the somewhat secluded angular tower, it costs another 4 zlotys directly at the entrance in front of the tower. From there you have a wonderful all-round view of Częstochowa and the surrounding mountains and endless forests of Olsztyn.

Ruins of Olsztyn Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins in Olsztyn are a picturesque place with a rich history, perfect for a short bike trip. The castle, which is part of the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, remembers the times of Casimir the Great and stormy sieges. Today, you can admire the remains of the walls, the cylindrical and square towers, as well as the foundations of old buildings. The area around the castle offers interesting bike routes in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, and an additional attraction are archaeological discoveries, including Neanderthal finds in a cave in the lower castle.

Marshal Józef Piłsudski Square

Highlight • Settlement

Such a beautiful market square, adorned with flowers, deserves to be called a highlight.
Olsztyn's market square is located very close to the castle ruins, which dominate the town's skyline. In this market square, you can see how much the municipality cares about tourists. An ice cream parlor and a café invite you to linger. There are even deck chairs available for everyone to use. Art and lavish floral arrangements complete the beautiful impression.
