Grodzisko, Rural hamlet in Gmina Skała, Poland

The settlement of Grodzisko sits on a limestone hill overlooking the Prądnik Valley near the Ojców National Park at coordinates 50.231111, 19.825556.

Duke Bolesław Wstydliwy established a defensive castle with ramparts and a moat in Grodzisko around 1243, gifting it to his sister Salomea in 1260.

The architectural complex includes the Church of the Assumption, prayer houses, and a hermitage, representing Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles.

Visitors can reach the hamlet through local roads connecting to larger towns, with the site maintaining regular opening hours for religious and tourist purposes.

Five stone statues surrounding the church depict historical figures, including Duke Bolesław Wstydliwy and King Coloman of Hungary, created during the 17th century.
