June 16, 2025, Royal Castle in Nowy Sącz

The Royal Castle in Nowy Sącz is now a picturesque ruin located in a place of exceptional landscape value – on a slope at the mouth of the Kamienica River into the Dunajec River. Built by Casimir the Great in the 14th century, it was once an important administrative and defensive point, visited by kings, including Jadwiga of Anjou and Władysław Jagiełło. Today, you can see the reconstructed Kowalska Tower and fragments of the old walls, and the entire area serves as a city park.

A small park above the Dunajec River with old castle ruins. The park is officially named after Ireny Styczynskiej (1923 - 2007), a local activist during the Second World War.

A tower and a few walls still tower over the Dunajec. The rest of the castle complex is history.
