This is actually a palace mistakenly called a castle. Built in the Italian style of the palazzo in fortezza (i.e. a residence combining the comfort of residents with a defensive function) in the years 1627–1644 by Krzysztof Ossoliński. The story of the creation of the ruin full of magic and mystery and its splendor is still not fully understood. Samuel Jerzy Kalinowski, the mobile clerk, was the host of the castle after the Ossoliński family. During his reign, a Swedish deluge took place in Krzyżtopor in Poland. In 1655, the invaders, led by General Duglas, seized the castle and later plundered its interior. The castle slowly became an uninhabited ruin. In the post-war period, Krzyżtopór became the property of the Treasury, but it was not until 1991 that the facility was made available to tourists. Since 2007, the castle is supervised by the Commune Office in Iwaniska. Now every tourist can learn about the history and size of the Ossoliński family, the fantastic wealth of Polish magnates, and the power and greatness of 17th-century Poland. In addition to visiting, the ruins have the opportunity to organize a bonfire in their area. You can rent equipment for frying and baking on fire. In addition, there are many benches and tables. You can also extend camping due to the possibility of pitching a tent in the castle area.
