Bydlin

Bydlin is a village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship in southern Poland. The settlement sits in rural farmland with forests nearby, home to a close-knit community that has lived here for centuries.

The settlement developed in medieval times and was shaped by a castle that formed part of the Eagles' Nests Trail, a network of fortifications across the region. This fortress served as a defense point during the Middle Ages.

The residents maintain traditional agricultural practices and organize regular community gatherings that preserve local customs passed down through generations.

The village is easily reached from Olkusz nearby, where larger shops and services are located, while remaining rural in character. Visitors should expect fewer public facilities than in cities and will find it easier to explore by car or bicycle.

The castle ruins underwent substantial renovation work in 2012, revealing architectural elements from the medieval period that defined regional defensive structures.
