Przewodziszowice Castle, Medieval watchtower in Żarki, Poland.

The Przewodziszowice Castle stands on limestone rocks with preserved fragments of stone walls and foundations dating from the Gothic period.

Built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir III the Great, this fortress protected important trade routes connecting Silesia with Lesser Poland.

The castle belongs to the Eagle's Nests trail, a collection of medieval fortifications spread across the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland region.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Żarki, with parking facilities available at the base of the hill.

Local records mention that knight Mikołaj Kornicz Siestrzeniec stored his accumulated treasures within the castle walls and its deep stone well.
