Pieskowa Skala Castle is one of the highlights of the Malopolska region. Located only 30 km from Krakow, on the hill rising above the picturesque valley of the River Pradnik and surrounded by the forests of the Ojcow National Park.
Castle
Early 14th century defensive stronghold – the Pieskowa Skala Castle has taken on quite a different character from its counterpart over the centuries and today stands as one of the most glorious examples of Renaissance residential architecture in Poland.
Altered and expanded many times over the centuries, the castle boasts a princely gateway and courtyard, whilst inside there is a delightful exhibition of art and artefacts culled from the Royal Collection at Wawel.
At the base of the castle are two ponds between which is a mass grave for 65 insurgents killed during the 1863 January uprising against the Russian Empire.
Museum
Following restoration works, Pieskowa Skala is now home to three permanent exhibits:
- Polish 14th to 19th Century Art
- English Art Gallery
- Exhibit on the castle's history
The rooms follow chronological themes, ranging through Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Biedermeier.

It's nicely restored and has extensive art exhibitions. There's a restaurant, not sure if it's good but the smells were delicious.

A beautiful and newly restored castle. Next place for long walks where you can see the "Hercules club". Long queue waiting to purchase tickets, as well as a small exhibition. Although minor flaws, you should visit this beautiful place. The castle also has a cafe and a restaurant with terrace, where you can admire the beauty of the surroundings.

The castle makes an impression. The exhibition was on the contrary, has no connection essentially with the history of the castle, sorry. Service is originally from Poland. For children prepared a free guide with stickers of items that you find in the castle. From the castle you can walk in the most recognizable club in Poland. In the castle restaurant with delicious food in umarkowanych prices.

The barons listen. Calm down, please! Here's the story przeswietna before you must! Who wants to go to castle Rock to listen to me, please! Tell free, a reward from God to me.
About to change in the horse as a reward, not asking, not about the fur. I don't care about the Marne a penny, well, I think that someone will give them to me, in the name of God!
Again, the Rock castle is concerned, this Burg is quite udatny, well maintained, flews of upper jaw strongly in the Renaissance shape the character even before the time of today's well preserved. Alas, srozyc can every time long past enthusiast, because while renowacyji her dopieroz that the process is very ugly glass elements beside the gallery was made. Dalibog that were also used in this dezycji, Pambu one knows, but certainly for authentic or pleasing to the eye these monasteries can not be found in any way.
The Museum that they are in the middle of stolbu was done, again an exciting chance to travel in time, if one of the Gentlemen or Ladies had volens such a service take place until years osiemdziesietnych and dziewiecdziesietnych of the twentieth century. They will give you, for a very ucieszne catch as drzewiej in each Museum also has. They must save a very old perennial planks of parquet that all Museum halls decorate. But listen is necessary that in these sandals don't slip and jakowego exhibit not popsowac or to himself health not take away.
Exhibits jeslic obaczyc them you want no guide, not described. Only informacyje you can mianu their by or the rebellion. Is this, however, karteluszek foil, in a thousand hands earlier dzierzony, so this solution is very unsanitary to today's times, all the measure does not stick. Over the fact, I probably the most. However, if women custody of halls sprawujacem distract yourself, this knowledge about the exhibits there and to talk about cudnosciach they can.
It is impossible not to mention about very important things, the same as in the Museum, however, do not give permission for the following new trends bounce sπερu_bar_ξ ab fotografionem making, that is, humanly speaking fotografij to do there is not dozwalaja! This is again clearly with the laws of the land in these incompatible, and it is from rokow six bezmala! Chanba because of the vulva on dyrekcyje Museum, near the castle of Krak headquarters his is because niecnoty this, considering that the preservation of culture and knowledge paraja, and the knowledge that ius Poloniensis nijakiej do not have.
O niczyjego konia w nagrodę nie proszę, ani o futro. Nie dbam o marne trzy grosze, no chyba, że ktoś odda mi je w imię Boże!
Co zasię owej Skały Pieskowej się tyczy, to jest to burg dość udatny, zadbany, o bryle mocno w renesansowej epoce ukształtowany, charakter swój zasię do czasów dzisiejszych dobrze zachował. Jednakoż, srożyć się może każdy czasów dawno minionych entuzjasta, bowiem podczas renowacyji co to ją dopieroż co zakończono, wielce szpetne szklane tafle podle krużganków poczyniono. Dalibóg, czym też się kierowano w tej dezycji, Pambu jeden raczy wiedzieć, aleć żadną miarą za autentyczne czy cieszące oko owe krużganki uznane być nie mogą żadną miarą.
Muzeum, co je we środku stołbu uczyniono, jest zasię ciekawą szansą na podróż w czasie, jeśliby kto z Panów czy Dam miał volens takową odbyć do lat osiemdziesiętnych i dziewięćdziesiętnych stulecia dwudziestego. Dadzą wam bowiem wielce ucieszne łapcie, jako się drzewiej w każdym muzeum takoż nosiło. Mają one uchronić wielce starodawne kilkudziesięcioletnie deski parkietu, co wszystkie sale muzealne zdobi. Aleć baczyć należy, coby się w takich łapciach nie poślizgnąć i jakowego eksponatu nie popsować czy też by samemu sobie zdrowia nie odjąć.
Eksponaty, jeślić obaczyć je będziecie chcieli bez przewodnika, nijak opisane nie są. Jedynie informacyję możecie o mianu ich wykonawcy czy czasie powstania dostać możecie. Jest li to jednak karteluszek z folii, w tysiącu rąk wcześniej dzierżony, zatem jest to rozwiązanie wielce niehigieniczne i do czasów dzisiejszych wszelaką miarą nie przystaje. Nad faktem tym ubolewam bodaj najbardziej. Jeśli jednak do niewiast pieczę nad salami sprawującem się zwrócicie, te wiedzę o eksponatach posiadają i opowiedzieć o cudnościach owych niejedno mogą.
Nie można takoż nie wspomnieć o bardzo istotnej rzeczy, takiej zasię, że w muzeum owym nie udzielają dyspensy na czynienie nową modą odbić speculo ab fotografionem czyniąc, czyli mówiąc po ludzku fotografij czynić tam nie dozwalają! Jest to zasię jawnie z prawem ziem tych niezgodne i to od roków sześciu bezmała! Chańba przeto i srom na dyrekcyję muzeum co podle grodu Kraka siedzibę swoją ma, bo niecnoty to są, skoro się zachowaniem kultury i wiedzy parają, a o wiedzy co do ius Poloniensis nijakiej nie mają.

Looks like it's been recently refreshed, nice restaurant with rather low prices but not a very varied menu. As to the castle itself - we didn't find it to be very special.
Krzysztof
Castle unfortunately badly restored and lost historic climate. For a lot of glass and modern materials. Fortunately, the situation save interesting ekspozycyje.
Konrad
Royal Castle after a complete renovation. Interesting exhibits inside, beautiful garden around. Woman With shortcomings
poorly organized ticket sales and therefore long queues. You have to wear slippers museum - how long ago. Parking small and rather "wild".
However WORTH!
Z mankamentów:
Źle zorganizowana sprzedaż biletów i w związku z tym długie kolejki. Trzeba ubierać muzealne kapcie - jak dawno temu. Parking mały i raczej "dziki".
Tym niemniej WARTO!
