Perched dramatically on a rocky limestone hill Bobolice Castle is a 14th-century royal fortress built by King Casimir III the Great to protect the kingdom's western borders. After falling into ruin for centuries, the castle underwent a painstaking reconstruction in the 2000s, making it one of the most complete and picturesque strongholds.

The Ostrężnik Castle was completely destroyed, and more precise information about it is missing. The castle is located in the forest on a hill and borders a rock, with which it was connected by passages. The mysterious and rather gloomy ruin of the fortress, probably dating from the 14th century, is one of the least known defensive structures of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The outlines of the walls are preserved in very poor condition. The layout of the castle, divided into upper, lower, and outer bailey, is also barely recognizable today.
