Snap StoriesOgrodzieniec Castle, Poland
It is located on Góra Zamkowa - the highest hill of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The first fortifications were built there during the reign of Bolesław Krzywousty, but they were destroyed during the Tartar invasion in 1241.
The brick castle was built during the reign of Casimir the Great, who leased it to the Marshal of the Kingdom of Poland, Przedbor of Brzezie. Przedbór expanded the castle fortifications by allocating significant funds for this purpose.
In 1387, Władysław Jagiełło handed over the stronghold to the ruler of Krakow - Włodek of Charbinowice - compensating the previous owner - Przedbor from Brzezie - with a large sum of money for the previously incurred costs.
In the years 1530 - 1545, the castle was expanded by adding a new wing and adapting it to the Renaissance style.
In 1655, the fortress was partially burned by the Swedish army, which destroyed it for the next 2 years while their garrison was there. Almost half a century after the end of the Deluge, the castle fell victim to the Northern War. This time it was completely burned by the troops of the Swedish king Charles XII. After this event, it never regained its glory.
The last inhabitants left the ruined building around 1810.
The ruins of Ogrodzieniec are powerful and beautiful, which can be clearly seen in the scene of the Battle of Sodden Hill in "The Witcher". In the series, the castle served as a fortress that guarded the narrowest section of the Yaruga - a river of great strategic importance, and blocked Nilfgaard's troops from further expansion north.
