The castle in Bydlin is a ruin of a stronghold hidden among the trees, dating back to the end of the 14th century. Around 1388, a defensive tower was built at the request of the first owner of the village of Bydlin, a knight of Niemierz, of the Strzała coat of arms. Bydlin Castle was another link on the trail of strongholds called the Trail of Eagles' Nests, which were intended to protect the lands of the Polish kingdom on the border with Silesia.

The Bydlin castle ruins are freely accessible. The castle, located on a high rocky hill, also served as a temple for some time. There were also opinions among scholars that the building had never been a castle and had served sacred functions from the beginning. The castle was first mentioned at the end of the 14th century.
