The Royal Castle in Chęciny was erected on the ridge of a rocky hill (367 meters above sea level), probably at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the initiative of Wenceslaus II, the king of Czech and Poland. The first references to the castle date back to 1306, when in a document issued by Władysław Łokietek, the castle (Latin: castrum nostrum ducale) together with 11 villages was to be handed over to the bishop of Krakow, Jan Muskata. The clergyman was a political opponent of Łokietek, whom Piast wanted to win over to his side, but the planned diplomatic operation backfired, so already in 1307 the stronghold re-entered the royal domain. From this period there is also a mention of the first castle official in charge of the Chęciny stronghold, named Wrocław [Latin: Wroclaw].

A very beautiful place where you can marvel at the different epochs, starting with the medieval knight's castle in the western part, the ruins of a Renaissance castle in the middle of the property and the fortified farm buildings. The farm buildings house a restaurant, a hotel and a garage for old carriages and sleighs. The offer is very large, e.g. horse riding, carriage rides, kayaking on the directly adjacent river. Details can be found here: http://www.zameksobkow.eu/en/attractions/ The restaurant and the rooms of the hotel follow the theme "Middle Ages and Knight's Castle". In the restaurant you eat in the knight's hall with many interesting exhibits from the old days. The hotel's rooms are in the same style, but with modern bathrooms.

Formed in the Middle Ages, it served as a trade settlement (fairs, fairs). Around the market square there are buildings dating back to the 15th century. Noteworthy tenement houses of Fodyga and Kozubkiewicz in the western part and a former well. The town hall from 1837 dominates the Market Square - currently the Commune and Town Office in Chęciny. The market square is a place with numerous gastronomy and accommodation facilities.
