The castle, or rather, a small castle. Tickets cost 23 złoty. I recommend stopping by, even if only for a moment. It's worth seeing.

NEO-GOTHIC CASTLE The neo-Gothic castle was built in the first half of the 19th century (1835-1840). Never fully completed. Irregular, two-storey with a residential attic, with a basement. Built on a T-shaped plan with a circular four-storey tower on the east, connected to the body by a short perpendicular connector. The castle's storeys are separated by string-course cornices, apart from that, the detail is used very sparingly. The hallmarks of the Gothic style are primarily pointed arch openings, a stepped gable in the façade facing south and a tower topped with pseudo-machicolations. Inside, there are barrel vaults on the ground floor, and a staircase in the tower. Surrounded by ponds, it is an exceptional part of the palace and park complex. The castle has fulfilled many functions in the past. For example, the hall on the first floor was used as an Evangelical-Augsburg chapel. After World War II, it was used as a PTTK hotel and a cinema. Entered into the register of monuments in 1959. Since 1992, the castle has been privately owned and serves as a residential building. Source: Local information

Built in the early 14th century, the castle was the residence of the Dukes of Mazovia, rebuilt by Casimir the Great, and at the end of the 15th century became part of the royal estate. It was later destroyed as a result of wars and partitions. The only towers left from the seat of the rulers of Mazovia are the Zegarowa and Szlachecka towers and a fragment of the defensive walls, which was the wall of the former abbey. Currently, it houses the Diocesan Museum and the seat of the Curia.

The original parish church of St. Martin mentioned in 1399 was made of wood. The brick church in the Gothic style was built in the first half of the 15th century, and its construction was started before 1425 by Mikołaj Oporowski, the voivode of Łęczyca. The construction was completed by his sons Władysław Oporowski, after taking over the family estate in 1428, Władysław was the bishop of Włocławek from 1434, later the archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland, and Piotr Oporowski - the voivode of Łęczyca. The single-nave church with an unseparated presbytery and a burial crypt was built on the plan of an elongated rectangle, with a porch on the southern side. The interior was covered with a wooden ceiling. The modest decoration of the external elevations consisted of white plastered pointed arch panels, a brick frieze made of squared timber crowning the walls of the nave and rhombuses made of zendrówka bricks. The western elevation was most likely crowned with a decorative gable, as evidenced by two half-peaks preserved under the roof by the tower. In 1453, the Oporowskis - Władysław and Piotr donated the church to the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit, the rule of St. Augustine. The motive was the desire to honor the memory of Krystyna and Mikołaj Oporowski's parents, buried in the church's basement. The church building is connected to the monastery building.

A brick castle in the Gothic style built in the years 1434–1449 by the bishop of Kujawy, Władysław Oporowski. Formerly, it was the centre of the extensive landed estates of the Oporowski family of the Sulima coat of arms. In 2007, it was entered into the State Register of Museums. The beginning of the castle complex was a knight's residential tower, built at the beginning of the 15th century on an artificial island, built in the middle of one of the branches of the Słudwia River. Later, residential buildings were built surrounding a small cobblestone courtyard, defensive walls and a semicircular tower with a chapel on the first floor. The castle is dominated by the north-west corner tower decorated with a Gothic dagger. Despite many reconstructions made in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, only minor changes were made. They left behind Renaissance ceilings, Baroque window openings on the first floor, and Classicist stucco. The annex in the courtyard, the so-called "cupboard", as well as the neo-Gothic portal of the entrance gate and the terrace in front of the bridge, date from around 1840. The castle is surrounded by a landscape park established in the first half of the 19th century.

Nice views from the hill, the "castle" itself is not particularly attractive
