Royal Castle in Chęciny

Highlight • Castle

The Royal Castle in Chęciny was erected on the ridge of a rocky hill (367 meters above sea level), probably at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the initiative of Wenceslaus II, the king of Czech and Poland. The first references to the castle date back to 1306, when in a document issued by Władysław Łokietek, the castle (Latin: castrum nostrum ducale) together with 11 villages was to be handed over to the bishop of Krakow, Jan Muskata. The clergyman was a political opponent of Łokietek, whom Piast wanted to win over to his side, but the planned diplomatic operation backfired, so already in 1307 the stronghold re-entered the royal domain. From this period there is also a mention of the first castle official in charge of the Chęciny stronghold, named Wrocław [Latin: Wroclaw].

Upper Market Square in Chęciny

Highlight • Settlement

Formed in the Middle Ages, it served as a trade settlement (fairs, fairs). Around the market square there are buildings dating back to the 15th century. Noteworthy tenement houses of Fodyga and Kozubkiewicz in the western part and a former well. The town hall from 1837 dominates the Market Square - currently the Commune and Town Office in Chęciny. The market square is a place with numerous gastronomy and accommodation facilities.
