Odrzykoń, Village with medieval castle in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland.
Odrzykoń is a village in the Subcarpathian region that spreads across rolling hills with traditional architecture throughout. The ruins of Kamieniec Castle sit on elevated ground overlooking the village below.
The settlement began as a Slavic fortification and later gained a castle built in the 14th century as a residence for a noble family. The castle became a focal point in local history and later inspired artistic works.
The village is shaped by people who maintain simple country customs and live close to the land. Traditional houses and farmsteads are still worked using practices that have stayed much the same for generations.
The village is reachable by public bus from Krosno and has small shops for daily needs. Visitors heading to the castle ruins should wear sturdy footwear, as the path crosses uneven terrain.
The castle was the site of a dispute between two noble families whose story inspired a well-known playwright. He wrote a humorous play about the conflict that is still performed in theaters today.
