Mirów Castle

The castle was built as a royal castle by King Casimir the Great around the middle of the 14th century. It is possible that there was already a fortification at this location before. The castle was originally administered by the nearby Bobolice Castle. In 1378, King Louis the Great gave the castle to Ladislaus of Opole as a fief, but it was reclaimed by King Ladislaus Jagiełło as early as 1396 and made a royal castle again. At the end of the 15th century, the castle came into the possession of the Myszkowski family, who rebuilt it in the Renaissance style. Later it belonged to the Męciński family. During the Swedish Deluge, the castle was severely damaged by the Swedes and finally abandoned in 1787. In the 19th century, the castle was used as a quarry by local residents. In 1934, the southern part of the castle collapsed. Work is currently underway on a reconstruction of the castle. Filming for several movies took place in the castle.
