A shop in a synagogue. Whatever you think, it's worth taking a look inside. And by the way - open on holidays, so it might come in handy on the route.

A cross commemorating the village of Giełzów, which existed in this place until 1902. On the cross is a plaque with a brief historical outline.

Have you ever been to a synagogue converted into a shop? It's worth going in, looking around and maybe having a meal. The opposite of the castle, which is boring in my opinion. I also recommend the market in Inowłódz.

The castle in Inowłodz was built on the initiative of King Casimir the Great. It guarded the Łęczyca Land and Lesser Poland against the Lithuanians and defended the crossing over the Pilica River. The castle is believed to have been built in the years 1356-66. It was built on an artificially raised hill surrounded by the Pilica oxbow lake and marshy meadows. Access to it was from the east from the city side. It was a typical lowland castle built on a rectangular plan with dimensions of 49 x 32 x 47 x 31 m. Local sandstone was used for construction. The original castle consisted of peripheral walls, an octagonal tower, a quadrangular tower and an L-shaped house. The whole was surrounded by a moat 20 m wide and 1.5 m deep. Thanks to a special ditch connecting it with the Pilica, it was constantly filled with water. The distance of the walls from the edge of the moat was on average 8 m. https://zamkiobronne.pl/zamek/inowlodz/
