Pieskowa Skała, Renaissance castle in Sułoszowa, Poland
The limestone castle stands on a cliff in the Prądnik Valley, featuring a quadrangular courtyard and defensive towers along its perimeter.
First documented in 1315 as Castrum Peskenstein, the castle received major modifications between 1542 and 1544 under architect Niccolò Castiglione.
The castle houses an exhibition showcasing European art evolution from the Middle Ages to the mid-19th century, including four Mannerist sarcophagi.
Located 27 kilometers from Kraków within Ojców National Park, the castle functions as a branch of the Wawel Royal Castle State Art Collection.
The castle forms part of the Trail of Eagles Nests, a chain of medieval fortifications stretching from Kraków to Częstochowa.
