The Castle in Szydłowiec, also known as the Castle of the Szydłowiecki and Radziwiłł families, is a historic residence with a rich history. The Castle in Szydłowiec was built between 1470–1480 by Stanisław Szydłowiecki on the site of a former knightly stronghold. Between 1515 and 1526, it underwent a significant reconstruction in the Renaissance style, carried out by Mikołaj Szydłowiecki. The final reconstruction took place between 1619 and 1629, when Albrycht Władysław Radziwiłł added late Renaissance and Baroque elements, giving the castle a unique character. The castle is situated on an artificial island, surrounded by a moat and a beautiful park, known as Radziwiłłowski Park. Its architecture is characterized by the maximum use of natural obstacles, which increased its defensibility. The structure consists of three basement wings with an inner courtyard, and its form is distinguished by a two-story loggia and a gate tower. The Castle in Szydłowiec is one of the most important monuments in the region and is a significant point on Poland's cultural map. Inside, you will find the Museum of Folk Musical Instruments, which presents rich collections and organizes various cultural events. The castle is open for visits, and its surroundings are conducive to walks and relaxation.

The sculptures in the park are interesting and worth seeing. However, watching contemporary art exhibitions is, in my opinion, a waste of time and money.

Navigation can lead the cyclist to the other side of the Kamienna River. Unfortunately, in May 2022 there is no longer a footbridge in this place and you have to turn back.

Navigation may suggest that the Kamienna River can be crossed in this place. Unfortunately, this is not possible. The old footbridge to the other side no longer exists in May 2022.

A very picturesque place, but in May 2022 the footbridge no longer exists. It is impossible to get to the other side of the river and you have to turn back. Besides, there is no power plant here, just an old mill on the river.
