Historic well on the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny
Highlight • Monument
The city with about 3,600 inhabitants is picturesquely located on the breakthrough of the Vistula from the Lublin and the Lesser Polish highlands. Because of the trade routes that were bundled there, the settlement soon became an important merchant town in the 12th century, in which many Jewish families also settled. Magnificent palaces were built in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The rule of the Swedes and the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War made the city impoverished, so much of the old substance was preserved. Today the old town on a terrace over the Vistula is a little gem.
A little tip: In the middle of the market place under a wooden shoring, you can fill up fresh drinking water free of charge 🤗

Janowiec Castle
Highlight • Castle
All attempts to rebuild the extensive castle came to nothing. In 1928 the Warsaw archaeologist Leon Kozłowski bought the castle. His reconstruction plans were halted by World War II. Even in the socialist era, Kozłowski remained the owner because the state had no interest in the property. In 1975 the chateau was bought by the Muzeum Nadwiślańskie in Kazimierz Dolny. The building has been renovated since 1988. The concept is to leave a substantial part of the building in ruins, while the other part is to be meticulously restored (Wikipedia).
The castle is open for tours and special events.
