Zamek Krzyżtopór

Iwaniska

On the eastern edge of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, in Ujazd near charming Sandomierz, stand the ruins of a castle whose symbols are the cross and the axe. The fortress was built in the 17th century by Krzysztof Ossoliński, but it was never fully completed and to this day it hides many secrets.Our audio guide starts at the main gate leading to the residence and takes you through the former courtyards, cellars carved into the rock, stables, as well as utility, residential and state rooms.During the walk, we look into the mirror of a spring gushing from the rock, and imagine the splendour of the chambers and the famous glass ceiling turned into an aquarium. The guide tells the colourful history of the residence and its successive owners, without leaving out tales and legends.
